Pros

I've never met so many friendly people in one company! We're all passionate, dedicated, and supportive of each other and our work. The communication between exec and employees helps build trust in the work that we're doing. Plus the food is AMAZING. I love the work-life balance too. It's hard to have burnout when you have free Crossfit/Yoga and unlimited days off!

Cons

The hardest part is actually fighting the media's portrayal of Twitter, our MAU and our leadership. It feels like they're trying to undermine a good thing, but ultimately, the open communication within the company helps dispel the lies.

Pros

The "water cooler" discussions at Twitter are more high impact than any other company I have ever worked for. What's more important is that the culture of Twitter is to take action on those discussions.

Cons

Extremely high pace and a lot is demanded of you. You are asked to perform above and beyond your normal threshold

Business Outlook

Pros

- work on a meaningful platform that is still growing and still has lots of potential - work with smart, passionate people. The composition of the work force is much more diverse in terms of personality and background than your average bay area tech company - San Francisco location. No need to commute to a campus along the Peninsula

Cons

- Twitter will forever be trying to shed its hacky culture image. You never quite feel like you are cutting edge or doing things right. - Getting better at this but still too many managers.
