Pros

Open communication from the management. Transparency is one of the strong points of this company. A lot of stuff to do but still have work-life balance. If you have experience in both startup and bigger companies you will be in a good environment here. There are a lot of things to improve and management will allow you to contribute based on your experience. Colleagues are open and always willing to collaborate.

Cons

I just feel that there are too much people working on this company. No plans yet to open up office to countries where Twitter is mostly used. We should start our localization and be on target to release them in a short period of time.

Pros

The quality of the engineers and PMs that you interact with daily are really what makes Twitter so awesome. Great people build great infrastructure which frees everybody up to work on more impactful and interesting projects rather than endlessly debugging issues. Also, working with talented engineers ensures that you're learning something new every day which makes career grow a natural consequence of the job.

Cons

It's hard work and there is a lot of pressure on all the employees to deliver products on short timelines, it's sometimes hard to strike an appropriate work-life balance. Also, the constant stream of new product asks have pushed back efforts on paying down technical debt. A number of the acquisitions we have made were not worth the exorbitant sums we paid for them, IMO.

Pros

The SF office is amazing. Great free food, and beautiful design. Twitter also has fantastic benefits including fully paid medical, tons of discounts at various retailers, and 5 months maternity leave!

Cons

Twitter is now a much larger company that is going through growing pains at the moment.
