Amazing Company

Recommend
Business Outlook

Pros

I've been working on Twitter for only 2 weeks, but it seems that I've been here for years. People receive you in a so warm way that you really feel home. I am also very impressed with the degree of transparency and openness that we have here. It makes you feel part of the strategy. I feel really proud to be part of this company!

Cons

I have no negative comments so far!

Pros

The product is amazing. You really feel like you are working for a company that has the potential to change the world. Everyone at the company is open and welcoming - senior exec leadership encourages rank and file employees to contact them any time, and even thoughtfully reply to e-mails from new hires. The "creature comforts" are on par with Google - fully-stocked microkitchens, amazing food, and on-site fitness classes and massages.

Cons

Lots of hard work to be done, and the expectation is that everyone is ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work. There is no coasting at Twitter. Although the leadership team has a strong plan to re-ignite growth, it may take some time for revenue to materialize and the stock to recover. There's also always a few growing pains at companies growing as fast as we are, so employees are expected to navigate an environment with some uncertainty. Also, the company is strongly biased towards e-mails and meetings, which could be a shock for folks from smaller companies.

Things are great so far (only been a week)

Pros

Obviously the perks are a huge pro. I feel spoiled already and really like I need to prove myself and EARN all that I'm being given. My manager has been super supportive and I see this being a great relationship (I've only been here a week). The team I joined has all said there is a lot of work to be done but that they are happy - relieved, even - that I am here. So I feel like I have big shoes to fill and I'm ready for that challenge. All good things in my eyes.

Cons

The #FratParty was a little disappointing, as were some of the comments made afterward ("what's the big deal!?"). But I did enjoy seeing most folks rally and stand up to say "this isn't right. we need diversity in the workplace, etc." There does seem to be a bit of a party environment but so far not on my team who appears to really roll up their sleeves. I'm excited about that.
