Pros

Working with talented people using a technology stack that makes me super productive (Scala / Finagle / etc). Twitter has some amazing infrastructure technology and it's really easy to get things done. My manager is great and cares about my career growth and goals. She keep the team productive and ensures blockers are moved out of the way as quickly as possible.

Cons

I spend a lot of time working on incremental improvements to service reliability, rather than hot new projects. But that's mostly okay with me!

Pros

Some of the smartest, nicest, loveliest people I have ever worked with are at Twitter. Offices are nice, perks are on par with similar companies. Decent pay when I was hired, though not sure what it is today. The platform is still a pillar in modern media, especially in sports, politics and entertainment. Though this allure is also dissipating.

Cons

Absolute mess from a strategic and managerial perspective, across all departments and areas. Decisions made with ego rather than strategy in mind and with opinion rather than insight, which leads to very poor career advancement opportunities. Developing an echo chamber culture and mentality. With atrocious middle management and lack of direction, you see people and teams turning on each other more and more. High turnover and constant departures at all levels. Embarrassingly poor diversity across race, gender and age. Morale could not be any lower.

Pros

Free food all day, on site wellness plus 100 bucks for off site wellness each month if we want it (including massage, race entrance fees, gym etc). Free health care options (med dent and vis). And employer seed on HSA.

Cons

No bonus program at this time but they do spot bonuses when we go above and beyond in our daily jobs. Also lots of turnover.
