      HR is invisible; managers aren't there to help you grow in any meaningful way and sometimes they hurt

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Food, working with many very qualified and mostly ego-less engineers who really care about what they are doing, running a service that people care about, plenty to learn

      Cons

      Your happiness or sadness will depend almost entirely on whether the manager who owns you wants you to be happy or sad, whether they want you to stay or don't care if you disappear tomorrow. There is no obvious way to correct things if you are identified as a "problem". Every team has a completely different style, which accounts for the giddy reviews found elsewhere in this section. The hiring rally in 2013 made it much easier to dispose of people rather than solving problems so they could stay.

      No life outside of work

      Pros

      Good work, snacks and food. Twitter has a lot of smart people.

      Cons

      - unspoken requirement to be available all the time (in many teams) - forget any life outside of work (some teams are good), all in the name of passion. Good luck with having a life if you are not a manager. - rather bad middle tier management

      Fast growth in a sometimes chaotic environment.

      Pros

      Twitter is a small, fast-growing company with a management team that has worked together in the past. There is always way too much to do on any given day, which allows for specializations beyond a given job function. Software engineers enjoy many new technologies such as Scala and real-time consumer messaging while operating in a small team with the capacity for big impact. Many employees are ex-Googlers with experience in large-scale systems yet eager to escape bureaucracy. Twitter employees have passions outside of work, which makes for more interesting coworkers.

      Cons

      A fast-moving startup where it's sometimes easier to see what isn't getting done than reward the good efforts being made by staff every day. Everyone is stretched so thin that sometimes the pressure takes over.
