Pros

Twitter is very open and transparent inside the company, with little friction caused by bureaucratic nonsense. From my first day I've been able to make big changes to the code base and deploy these changes to production. It has been relatively easy to work with coworkers across teams to complete broader projects. I've always felt compensated fairly for the work I do, and I've never felt the need to consistently work long days.

Cons

It's in an interesting state as it has been making its transition from small start up to big company, and many internal processes have not scaled. Twitter is developing corporate infrastructure to preserve it's culture at scale, but it's not quite there yet.

Pros

- A product with lots of promise - A consumer brand with huge recognition - Awesome location, food, and culture

Cons

- Inexperienced management, specially the middle tier - Slow execution and too much politics - Promotion is hard to come by, unless you are one of those chosen ones - Having a hard time recruiting good candidates and so it is full of mediocre engineers and recent grads - Competition in social media space is getting tough and Twitter is not positioned to stay relevant for long due to the way it executes
