Pros

Great engineers, smart people, free food, decent benefits (not extra-ordinary)

Cons

Incompetent executives. The company is in a constant state of re-org. There is a re-org every month. There is total lack of innovation in the company and there is a massive talent drain in the company. Most people I know who quit did not leave for poor compensation or poor stock grants: Its because there is no faith in a management that is running around like headless chicken. There are no career opportunities because the company is not growing. The environment is getting very political and lacks transparency. The core product has not changed in years.

Pros

Free food, working with some smart, hardworking and talented people.

Cons

Like a bad high school environment. Very clicky and must drink the Twitter kool-aid to be heard. Very strange for what is supposed to be a progressive environment. People talk the same, sound the same, only accept one style of work methodologies. Also, poor senior management to director levels. Too green, not seasoned and again, all talk the same, walk the same and act the same. Though they preach to be transparent and open, there is very little listening and of course, no execution when someone is being heard. This is a big reason Twitter is struggling. Instead of building a unique environment where all types of thinking are challenged and welcomed, you must conform to things like walking with someone to the bathroom to ensure you make contact and connections with someone. Really? And you better believe that an unseasoned manager will call you out on it too. Better yet, what about the management that preaches but then takes advantage of the company at every turn. They pass along work so they can work out at the gym for 1.5 hours or talk about their personal problems in a professional workplace. Out of control and there is very little accountability. The funny thing is the people that work hard, smart and can help achieve greater success are forgotten or run over by those manipulative, untruthful and power hungry for themselves.
