Pros

High energy people with lots of passion and a killer product. Hack week is cool / good for company innovation!

Cons

Blend of experienced and inexperienced managers, expect 3 hours work every evening and road map is not clear. Salary / Benefits decent but not up to par with comparable employers

Pros

-Challenging and interesting work in a Big Data environment -Collaboration is made easier by strong company values and friendly co-workers. There are some issues communicating across many locations -The company encourages a culture of learning and growth. There are classes and talks almost every day on various topics and most of them are available to remote employees via video streaming. -Great benefits including unlimited vacation time and free snacks/drinks. You get a good amount of t-shirts and other swag too.

Cons

The datacenter works on West Coast time, so the hours can be late. Many datacenter employees have to work one weekend day every other week as well.

Pros

Twitter is probably one of the best place to work at. The people are great, people care about your well-being from day one and the perks are good. On the other hand, you are expected to work hard and be completely dedicated to your work. You will be given a lot and you are expected to give a lot back which makes perfect sense. New-new hire orientation is solid and really useful plus you will get to meet some employees from the early-days. Best way to see how it's like is to be invited by a friend or an acquaintance for lunch. (The food is great; there are all kind of foods)

Cons

There are definitely carrier opportunities however during the first week, I felt an employee needed to move mountains to be promoted. My point of view isn't set yet so I will see in the future.
