Pros

I've been working at Twitter for 3 months now and I can tell you it's the best company I've worked for in my ten year sales career. The people are great, the product has changed the world and the work/life balance is very fair.

Cons

Mission is a little confusing. Teams/offices work in their own little bubbles and need to cross pollinate more. Need to retain quality people.

Pros

Perks, Benefits, Flexible hours, Friendly staff. Very casual environment but people want you to succeed. Meetings are short and you have to be on point and direct. People seek feedback and want your feedback. The benefits are similar to other tech companies and comparable. And of course, the food is amazing.

Cons

Not understanding of growth Transparency on career development Leveling within the department is skewed and unfair
