Pros

Some of the smartest, nicest, loveliest people I have ever worked with are at Twitter. Offices are nice, perks are on par with similar companies. Decent pay when I was hired, though not sure what it is today. The platform is still a pillar in modern media, especially in sports, politics and entertainment. Though this allure is also dissipating.

Cons

Absolute mess from a strategic and managerial perspective, across all departments and areas. Decisions made with ego rather than strategy in mind and with opinion rather than insight, which leads to very poor career advancement opportunities. Developing an echo chamber culture and mentality. With atrocious middle management and lack of direction, you see people and teams turning on each other more and more. High turnover and constant departures at all levels. Embarrassingly poor diversity across race, gender and age. Morale could not be any lower.

Pros

The company offers good benefits and company wide perks.

Cons

The Finance and Accounting department suffers from favoritism, nepotism, and poor leadership. Promotions and opportunities appear to be driven more by personal relationships than by performance, contributions, or expertise. The Accounting Controller demonstrates biased and unprofessional leadership, which has created a culture of low accountability and poor morale. High performers are often overlooked while favored individuals continue to advance despite limited contributions. The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work. There seems to be little urgency to modernize systems or improve operations. The culture also tolerates underperformance, with inconsistent expectations and accountability across team members. This can be frustrating for employees who value merit, professionalism, and continuous improvement.
