Pros

W/L balance, mission driven, transparency, diversity, perks, remote work

Cons

Very immature systems, processes and management. Recruiting has a toxic, fear-based culture created by weak leadership. Most recruiters are hired on contract and not given the access to the systems and information needed to do their job effectively. Regardless if you are FTE or contract, as a recruiter you will be treated like a second class citizen. Impossible to get promoted unless you are a favorite- and even then, watch your back because it’s only a matter of time. Pay is not great compared to other tech- You can make more, have more growth opportunity and be treated better at literally any other tech company.

Pros

In general, there seems to be a strong company-wide sense of inclusion and empathy, which really makes Twitter stand out. People are very passionate about the role that Twitter has in society, and while there is constantly a lot of public backlash towards the leadership around critical decisions, internally, I think that there is a lot of trust in the expertise and intentions of other teams. As an engineer, I feel empowered to work on projects that I think are valuable and interesting without feeling entangled in internal politics. Twitter was one of the first companies to really devote themselves to WFH, and the transition was essentially seamless, since Twitter was already shifting towards remote work. In addition, there are "Flexible Work" opportunities, where employees can request to temporarily or permanently work out of approved locations, which is quite amazing.

Cons

There are frequent re-organizations (every 4-6 months?), and while you learn to roll with the punches, it makes it difficult to plan out longer term projects, since staffing & priorities end up changing. You end up having a handful of half-baked projects that die after one or two iterations.
