Pros

Every level can make an impact here. After 11 years, still feels like a start up, but with developing process/structure/policies. Twitter is a global brand name. If you like the spotlight, and getting lots of attention when you say "I work at Twitter," then its a great place for you. The company is competitive in salary, making big adjustments on promoting growth internally, hiring better leaders, hard workers, and people that really care about being a Global "NEWS" source. Great work balance. Amazing perks - Free food all day, booze, cell phone, gym, etc. No formal vacation policy and 5 months paid Mat/Pat leave by far the best in the country. They make it comfortable to work here.

Cons

Still stuck in the stigma of "social media" and wall street measuring success by one poor measuring tool - "Monthly Active Users." Not much else.

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 The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work.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