Pros

Twitter hires innovative, intellectual and motivated people, it is them who makes the working experience awesome. The culture and leadership combined really empower the employees there to put their best efforts forward to keep the company going. I believe in what the platform stands for and what it's doing to make a difference in this world. The continuing innovation with the products and what marketers are doing to leverage the platform is better than ever & will continue to improve. The company offers such great perks, from free meals, snacks, celebrity sightings, happy hours, crossfit, yoga, and much more! If you're looking for great culture and leadership, this is where its at!

Cons

Any company that is growing rapidly has areas that need to improve and one thing I'd like to point out is the growing pains of it. It's not just one thing that needs improvement but overall, processes that need to be put in place to make work more efficient. Not having to go through multiple avenues to look for one answer.

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.
