Amazing and challenging work, a lot of responsibility with really smart and nice people.

Senior software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great benefits (food, pay, health, work from home, etc), good work/life balance, intelligent people, challenging work, many opportunities to be influential. Executive staff on a first name basis. Great open door policy. Location (downtown SF!).

Cons

People are spread pretty thin. While that means each person does A LOT, it means getting new things done is hard since there aren't enough people to do it. We need more engineers desperately.

A place where engineers control their destinies, and you are changing the world.

Staff software engineer

Business Outlook

Pros

small teams, engineers own their own services (prod root, testing, alerting, design, end to end), tons of opportunity to work on fundamental infrastructure and relevance problems, but also there is a ton in place to help you do this already. Extremely pro-open source. Flexible work environment, unlimited PTO. Still pre-IPO, but you know, kinda probably will.

Cons

Chaotic: engineering has not been very historically run by strong personalities, which lead to an environment where individual tech teams decided what to build. This lead to a lack of consistency and and "anything goes" engineering mentality. E.g. there are maybe 6 different logging frameworks in production java code, another half dozen different key-value stores, mapreduce jobs are done via pig, scalding, hive, python on hadoop streaming, you name it. So if you're one who is bewildered by many choices, you'll be *very* bewildered at Twitter. It can be a hard place to start your engineering career.
