Pros

- Twitter has an inspiring and an unparalleled product, and there is still so much unrecognized potential that I genuinely look forward to seeing unfold. I still love the product, the platform, and the greater Twitter ecosystem from employees to exec team to advertisers, and end-users. - Great benefits and work/life balance - Despite the criticism, I also think Jack is an amazing leader, and a human being.

Cons

I would recommend joining Twitter, but stay far, far away from the Finance team if you want to experience career growth. - Middle and upper management lacks strategic vision. - Favoritism and corporate politics is proudly displayed by management - Lack of career growth and promotion opportunities if you're not favored - Compensation is not competitive compared to the industry - Ineffective org structure - Some teams are much too bloated while others struggle to stay afloat. (Favorites get all the headcount) - Everything I mentioned in the pro section does not compensate for the cons when you feel your efforts are not valued.

Pros

Free lunches. Most of the colleagues were nice.

Cons

Vague feedback & lack of structured support: Bi-weekly 1-on-1s tend to be repetitive and lack actionable substance. When mistakes occur, the standard protocol is a vague directive to "review the guidelines" rather than a collaborative review of the actual error. There is a missed opportunity to pair struggling agents with peers for hands-on learning and mentorship. Subjective conflict resolution: Team issues and workflow disruptions are sometimes met with personal assumptions from management (framing issues as a "lack of trust" among peers) rather than objective investigation. Ignoring reported operational issues simply because a manager "wasn't present" to witness them stalls team progress. Sharing constructive details with both parties would allow the team to learn and move forward professionally. Ambush-style offboarding & lack of progressive discipline: The termination process lacks fair, progressive discipline. Rather than addressing performance concerns or alleged errors through transparent, ongoing feedback or structured improvement plans, management tends to weaponize past learning curves (which were previously resolved and followed by praised performance) during the final exit meeting. Dismissing employees abruptly without prior, documented warnings is incredibly damaging to team morale, especially for those managing high-stress workloads in child safety and platform integrity.
