Pros

Great engineers, smart people, free food, decent benefits (not extra-ordinary)

Cons

Incompetent executives. The company is in a constant state of re-org. There is a re-org every month. There is total lack of innovation in the company and there is a massive talent drain in the company. Most people I know who quit did not leave for poor compensation or poor stock grants: Its because there is no faith in a management that is running around like headless chicken. There are no career opportunities because the company is not growing. The environment is getting very political and lacks transparency. The core product has not changed in years.

Love working at Twitter because the product matters to the world

Pros

If you love Twitter and what it stands for, it's a motivating place to work. Twitter is simultaneously making solid improvements to its core product while investing in some invigorating new areas like live video, AR/VR, and AI/computer vision. I've noticed an increasing number of new hires from places like Google, Facebook, Uber, and others lately which indicates that interest is strong. Food is awesome at lunch time (not quite so much at dinner, but it's solid). HQ is a nice place to work. At least on my team, management is very good at recognizing good work and promoting quickly.

Cons

There are visible departures of well liked people, most of whom seem to be leaving for smaller startups. I feel that this is a natural part of one's career, but it can still be disappointing when people who are admired and who care about Twitter still choose to leave. Work on some teams can be slow due to a paranoia about experimenting to make sure metrics aren't hurt. I feel that leadership needs to be bolder in shipping to prevent churning and inefficiency.
