Great place to work!

Pros

What I love about Twitter is that everyone working at Twitter believes in the power of Twitter and the vision of the company. Twitter is making an impact on the world - and the employees are motivated to work hard to help the company grow. The work is interesting and constantly changing. The culture is vibrant and always full of excitement. There is a sense of community here that is unlike any other company - very supportive. Also, fun Friday happy hours! Breakfast, lunch, and dinner is provided - and the food is incredible. My personal favorite is the new smoothie/juice bar. You can work off the extra calories at the cross fit gym or yoga studio, or the SF fitness right by the office.

Cons

The company is continuously growing, so it's easy to start to feel like it's difficult to stand out here. It's on you to branch out to meet people outside your team.

Good company but it might be growing too fast for its own good

Pros

Great team members who are smart and willing to work hard. The work culture is very inviting and positive.

Cons

Like many up and coming companies, Twitter is trying to figure out its potential. It may take some time and reorgs happen quite often. Many employees also seem entitled, often demanding unreasonable and trivial things from the company rather than focusing on their own job.

Thanks so much for your review. We agree there's (always) room for growth. One way we want to facilitate more #LoveWhereYouWork experiences is by sharing reviews like yours with our leadership team so that we can identify areas for improvement.

Sales team going through growing pains

Anonymous employee

Pros

The ability to work with highly energetic and ambitious teams is a plus. There are some managers in the org that are fantastic and will take you far, especially if you are still determining your career. There is also the ability to move around internally to different teams to try something new. There is also a good work-life balance and is a good place for people to start families.

Cons

Sales team is in a stage where they are no longer a "start-up" type org and are subject to red tape and bureaucracies that really slow down efficient work flows. However, it still struggles like a start-up with inabilities to get resources and a developed work stream to help the sales team sell. Compensation is weak in comparison to other companies.
