Pros

Many teams are good and twitter-20 is true (a.k.a great food, you gain 20 pounds).

Cons

Twitter was previously great place to work. Unlike to bigger companies like Google, there could be better opportunities but the management has FAILED to scale the organization well. Managers have no interest in setting up the new hires for success, they are focused on getting short term results. Thus leading to many cases of hire and fire.

Pros

Good work, snacks and food. Twitter has a lot of smart people.

Cons

- unspoken requirement to be available all the time (in many teams) - forget any life outside of work (some teams are good), all in the name of passion. Good luck with having a life if you are not a manager. - rather bad middle tier management
