Pros

Open communication from the management. Transparency is one of the strong points of this company. A lot of stuff to do but still have work-life balance. If you have experience in both startup and bigger companies you will be in a good environment here. There are a lot of things to improve and management will allow you to contribute based on your experience. Colleagues are open and always willing to collaborate.

Cons

I just feel that there are too much people working on this company. No plans yet to open up office to countries where Twitter is mostly used. We should start our localization and be on target to release them in a short period of time.

Pros

It's one of the few companies that really touches a huge number of regular people on a global scale. So much has been made of its user base vs Facebook, but if you've got 300+ million people using your product, you're doing *something* right. Every week, we hear scores of news stories about how Twitter played a part in changing something, helping people recognize some truth, or just help people have fun. People here are smart, but also relatable and compassionate. I've been at other big tech companies that had super-smart people, but they were much more unapproachable or prone to hole up in their work and not socialize. After DickC's departure, management seems to have really rallied around one another, which in my view is 100 percent attributable to Jack's leadership and moral authority. Management leveled out expectations with Wall Street after Q2, which caused short term pain but gives us runway to succeed in the long term. And yes, the food is awesome.

Cons

- Changing the external meme will take time and hard work. Don't come here if you just want to rest and vest. - This is a very mission-driven place. If you're not all in on the mission, the work may not be what you're looking for.
