a lot of re-orgs, a destroyed company culture.

Pros

There are a lot of great people in the company. People used to think about the company and the product. Lately this changed a lot. These days it is more important to play politics. People care about the product less. Instead, they care about their team and personal future career.

Cons

People are constantly scared to get fired, no long term plans etc. Many teams don't even know what will happen in next quarter. Currently, it is full of chaos. It was clearly not the case a year ago. Politics play a lot of role these days in many decisions. a lot of power games. We used to constantly think about the company and always used the word "we". These days it is always "they" for other teams or "us" for your team.

Pros

Good engineers. Code is all out there and seen by everyone, great opportunity to understand various parts of the system.

Cons

New hires are not set up for success. Unless you have already worked in another web company expect difficult times. Though to be fair I hear many teams do a good job at it. My advise to anyone joining Twitter would be to join a team which has old time engineers and preferably under manager who were previously engineer at Twitter, else you won't get to experience the culture you would hope to see.

Pros

It used to be one of the best workplaces in tech It used to be a cultural hub for the world

Cons

After the merger, it quickly became one of the most toxic workplaces in tech. Deranged midnight emails from the CEO with conflicting information about anything from return to office and being required to fly to San Francisco with no notice so he can personally review your code all the while he hops back on his private jet to fly to Austin. You think he’s going to reimburse you for flying cross country only to find out he isn’t there?
