Pros

The salary is phenomenal. I'm not sure if they are still paying as well as they used to. The cafeteria is amazing.

Cons

Upper management is clueless. Layoffs were ill conceived and poorly executed. I don't think anybody knows why they happened. Now that the layoffs are over, the executives are all out recruiting, which makes no sense to anyone. Layoffs were pushed up due to the timing of the Square IPO. That's incredibly disrespectful to the people let go. The resulting organization structure is designed to slow down Twitter even more. Twitter has always moved far too slowly for the little social network that couldn't. Now it's about to stop doing anything.

Pros

Motivated and skilled engineers have huge potential for growth and impact. I really feel that my work makes a difference in the world and in the industry. Strong open source commitment, great learning opportunities, really great pay.

Cons

There's a lot of reoganization overhead associated with growing this fast. Our tooling and infrastructure are not up to Google or Facebook's level yet.
