Pros

Great Benefits, Nice Culture, Transparent, Energy

Cons

Terrible work/life Balance, tough targets due to slow Company Growth, Work/Life Balance is the big drawback for this company, if you work at Twitter they expect you to commit your life to it. Late Nights, after hour meetings and events that are not mandatory but expected attendance. 10 to 12 hour days are the norm in addition to work expected on the weekends as well. Twitter has excellent benefits but below industry average wages.

Business Outlook

Pros

Twitter offers a lot of room for growth as an individual contributor, especially to new software engineers that are capable of executing projects independently. Most employees are friendly, and the company benefits and perks are great.

Cons

There's a lack of process around interviewing new candidates, and the company is still struggling to nail down a strategy for reviewing employee performance. Both of these issues cause management and technical talent to vary greatly from team to team.
