Pros

It's one of the few companies that really touches a huge number of regular people on a global scale. So much has been made of its user base vs Facebook, but if you've got 300+ million people using your product, you're doing *something* right. Every week, we hear scores of news stories about how Twitter played a part in changing something, helping people recognize some truth, or just help people have fun. People here are smart, but also relatable and compassionate. I've been at other big tech companies that had super-smart people, but they were much more unapproachable or prone to hole up in their work and not socialize. After DickC's departure, management seems to have really rallied around one another, which in my view is 100 percent attributable to Jack's leadership and moral authority. Management leveled out expectations with Wall Street after Q2, which caused short term pain but gives us runway to succeed in the long term. And yes, the food is awesome.

Cons

- Changing the external meme will take time and hard work. Don't come here if you just want to rest and vest. - This is a very mission-driven place. If you're not all in on the mission, the work may not be what you're looking for.

Pros

* Amazing stock grants (at least pre-IPO). * Great pay. * Great internal training. * Great food that's free and plentiful. * Decent engineering practices. * World-wide brand recognition. * Great location.

Cons

* Horrible management and management practices. * The engineering management pushed out many of the best engineers. * Constant turnover among management as well. * It's a shark tank. * It's so painful to code on their stack compared to Google App Engine or AWS.

Pros

Great workplace right in downtown SF. Great perks (food, gym, vacation)

Cons

Not a lot of opportunities to develop professionally. Lot of inter-office politics and poor managers.
