      Pros

      Above market pay, good brand name

      Cons

      Only the world's best people can successfully run two companies at once. Is Dorsey competitive with Musk? No. Twitter is failing and Dorsey is over-committed. The company seems more interested in selectively applying the TOS against conservatives on the platform than in running a successful business.

      Great technologies / Very poor Sr management

      Pros

      Great technologies, the smart engineers Twitter hired from Google etc. between 2012 and 2013 made a lot of difference to the in-house tech stack. A lot can be learned from what still is available there Decent tools and IT department, though engineers complain about them. Twitter has a surprisingly mature internal tool stack as compared to other companies and many people realize this after they leave.

      Cons

      Management is overly political, which shows that they are not good at anything. Especially higher management (Sr Directors, some VPs), who have fired people they did not like, hired and kept favorite people around and have made this very obvious to the entire organization. If they were any good, at least they would do this without making it very obvious. Senior leadership rose to that level within 12-18 months and since they have no idea how to scale gracefully, they fail. Just hoping that some of the political people Sr Directors/VPs left behind are fired soon so that Twitter can be saved.

      Pros

      Great culture, vision, passion, compensation, and benefits. Interesting work which you can, to a great extent guide. Lots of room for creativity and opportunity to work with very large scale, high quality and cutting edge infrastructure. You will also have the opportunity to work with some of the friendliest and smartest people you will ever meet.

      Cons

      Everyone is SO SMART rockstar engineers come to Twitter and can feel a little less special than they are used to. It takes some time to get up to speed on many custom systems. Documentation is lacking and there is too much dependance on tribal knowledge. Valuation is currently lower that it should be, leading to sadness for some, but the roadmap is strong and the company is on the right track.
