      Smart people but no sense of direction

      Pros

      Work with some very smart people who are generally passionate about what they do. People really believe in the product and want to make a difference. Compensation before pre-IPO was second to none.

      Cons

      Too many new grads and bad management. You were able to coast almost indefinitely without accountability. The entitlement among some of the employees was pretty bad, but seemed to be getting better.

      Brilliant, Hardworking, and Helpful Coworkers

      Pros

      The quality of the engineers and PMs that you interact with daily are really what makes Twitter so awesome. Great people build great infrastructure which frees everybody up to work on more impactful and interesting projects rather than endlessly debugging issues. Also, working with talented engineers ensures that you're learning something new every day which makes career grow a natural consequence of the job.

      Cons

      It's hard work and there is a lot of pressure on all the employees to deliver products on short timelines, it's sometimes hard to strike an appropriate work-life balance. Also, the constant stream of new product asks have pushed back efforts on paying down technical debt. A number of the acquisitions we have made were not worth the exorbitant sums we paid for them, IMO.

      World-changing platform, people, and opportunities.

      Pros

      Giant aspirations for changing the world combined with a high likelihood of achieving them. Executing on a vast number of initiatives simultaneously, and succeeding. The employee benefits are excellent, the compensation competitive, and the opportunities for movement within the organization is incredibly high; very little friction to following your passion somewhere else within the org.

      Cons

      The organization has grown quickly and there are pockets of people who are reluctant to change and progress with the company. There is quite a distribution of work ethic across the org, and an unfortunate sense of entitlement in a portion of people. These are the same issues that I've experienced at every company; they're just universal truths of companies that grow.
