Pros

Pros: - The company feels very ethically driven. There are a lot of good people who want to do the right thing, even when it may be challenging. - It's an exciting, fast-paced environment and the projects you work on can impact the experiences of millions of people. - The building and actual office-space are beautiful and the perks are solid (free meals, health insurance, employee stock purchasing plan, discounts to local businesses, etc).

Cons

Cons: - Internal politics can difficult to navigate and it makes cross-team collaboration more stressful and challenging than necessary. - Compensation is lower than competitors and there is no annual company bonus (important to know when negotiating an offer). - Leveling is confusing (someone with 2-3 years of experience may be the same level and/or have the same title as someone with 10+) and there's little insight into salary ranges within the levels. - Career path options for senior individual contributors is limited.

Pros

I have been at Twitter for about a year and a half and it's been awesome. I've been afforded increasing professional development opportunities over the course of my time, and have been consistently impressed by the awesome benefits - no accrued vacation, great healthcare etc, lots of visiting VIPs and more. The culture is also great. Twitter has done a good job of maintaining a startup-eque vibe despite being 3000+ people. That really comes across in the day-to-day: having random conversations over lunch, or at the themed happy hours where people are super friendly and welcoming. Transparency is also important and respected. In my opinion, Twitter has a really bright future and it's an exciting time to be at the company.

Cons

Nothing comes to mind at this time
