Pros

There is plenty to eat and be entertained by. Smart progressive colleagues. Easy commute in the city. Good work life balance. Cool products to work on.

Cons

During my 2 & 1/2 years at Twitter my team was reorg'd 5 times and was assigned a new manager on average every 3 or 4 months which made growth nearly impossible. However, after my second year and a lot of hard work I received a merit pay increase and promotion. The next quarter I was again reorg'd to a different team and given a 22% pay cut. My salary instantly became less than I was making before I joined the company. Shortly after discussing the financial hardships this was going to cause, reviewing my past accomplishments and performance reviews with the HRBP, my employment was terminated. Sidenote if you're a member of a minority group, run!

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 The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work.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.
