      A good brand (albeit turbulent) to use as a stepping stone to somewhere better.

      Pros

      Free food, gym subsidies, economy travel, etc. Easy place to come up with new ideas by locking yourself away and doing your own work.

      Cons

      A scattered and often changing vision. Filled with Oxbridge types and middle class snobs that make it difficult to be a foreigner without a lot of condescension.

      Twitter Finance

      Pros

      - Twitter has an inspiring and an unparalleled product, and there is still so much unrecognized potential that I genuinely look forward to seeing unfold. I still love the product, the platform, and the greater Twitter ecosystem from employees to exec team to advertisers, and end-users. - Great benefits and work/life balance - Despite the criticism, I also think Jack is an amazing leader, and a human being.

      Cons

      I would recommend joining Twitter, but stay far, far away from the Finance team if you want to experience career growth. - Middle and upper management lacks strategic vision. - Favoritism and corporate politics is proudly displayed by management - Lack of career growth and promotion opportunities if you're not favored - Compensation is not competitive compared to the industry - Ineffective org structure - Some teams are much too bloated while others struggle to stay afloat. (Favorites get all the headcount) - Everything I mentioned in the pro section does not compensate for the cons when you feel your efforts are not valued.

      opportunity to work on a well-known consumer product

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      If you get a thrill from working on a recognizable product that's often in the news, then being at Twitter will provide you with a psychological boost. Strong engineers. Twitter is a frequent OSS contributor. So even though Twitter has a lot of in-house tools and runs its own data centers, you will still get the chance to work with tools that are probably used elsewhere. Good food and plentiful coffee. The company tries hard to be inclusive.

      Cons

      Location: mid-market is not the most convenient part of the city. I get the sense there is a lot of tech debt in the product, but a lot of effort has been made in the past year to pay it down to make future development easier. A lot of turnover in the revenue team's upper management ranks. Exec turnover is quite high, even though exec compensation is frequently in the news for being way too generous relative to the company's revenue level and growth rate.
