Pros

Dedicated, talented people. Incredible access. Business, entertainment, you name it. Twitter has a relationship. Healthy compensation, and at HQ, top notch food. Good likelihood you'll ship. Decent exec communication and great transparency inside the company. Hacking culture.

Cons

Lots of management. Lots of reorgs. No executive team design leadership, and lackluster design culture. Product management runs the show. Little room for creative exploration. Lots of committee-based decisions. Remote offices are a complete nightmare if you are working on the core product.

Pros

Good engineers. Code is all out there and seen by everyone, great opportunity to understand various parts of the system.

Cons

New hires are not set up for success. Unless you have already worked in another web company expect difficult times. Though to be fair I hear many teams do a good job at it. My advise to anyone joining Twitter would be to join a team which has old time engineers and preferably under manager who were previously engineer at Twitter, else you won't get to experience the culture you would hope to see.
