Amazing place to work!

Anonymous employee

Pros

I loved working at Twitter because the culture felt similar to living in a city but knowing everyone at the local markets, and EVERYONE was so friendly. The atmosphere sets up the opportunity to meet others, collaborate on ideas, and feel at home to be there as long as you need in order to get your work done. I loved the opportunities to be a part of different activities outside of the normal job, ie. Community Service, Hackweek, Fitness, etc. It was another great way to meet others outside of your team!

Cons

The toughest part of working at the company was that things were always changing. It made it the best part if you could adapt and pivot really quickly, but it was tough if a person wasn't used to it or wanted normalcy!
