      I love where I work but know Twitter could be better.

      Pros

      Great work-life balance and human flexibility. They value bug fixes and tech-debt cleanup. Projects aren't rushed - quality is key. Blame is rare - they encourage everyone to learn from their mistakes. It's ok to speak openly & try to change processes (too many meetings? speak up!). Everyone on a team seems to have their opinions valued. Designers & PMs ensure the engineers are on board. Jack speaks clearly about Twitter's place in the world, our mission, and values. Jack serves as a good spiritual leader. Jack has the right intentions. Good location.

      Cons

      Culture died after Jack fired tons of people and cut costs in the wrong areas. Fitness perks and food options have gone down. Perks get slashed left and right, every few months, but they keep giving execs raises. Company-wide happy hours are gone so it's very hard to meet people from other teams now. Standardized hiring practices have led to the hiring of many under-qualified contributors (they can answer generic interview questions but can't take on real challenges). They keep laying off great ICs instead of firing incompetent directors & executives. If managed better, we'd do well with more engineers, more salespeople, etc. We have many Hackweeks but the winning projects never see the light of day. It's demoralizing and a waste of time. Many projects are created but cancelled last second due to executive's changing their minds.

      Fun place, but no leadership or foresight

      Pros

      - free food - good, not great, benefits - a public platform - comfortable offices - coworkers are passionate about the company

      Cons

      - leadership spends more time reflecting on when they worked at Google than trying to improve Twitter - leadership is slow to respond to change; almost resistant to it
