Pros

Costolo is an amazing CEO and is transparent on issues affecting the company. People at Twitter are very helpful and the culture is really about building one another up!

Cons

They do not do a good job of doing equity refreshers which is why so many people are leaving after 4 years / after they vest their majority. With all the turn over it felt like a new company or team every few months because of the turnover not because of team growth.
