Pros

The old Twitter had an amazing culture, benefits, product, and strategy. It was fully remote, had monthly days of rest, and the vision was to truly build a service to help people stay informed on what matters and discuss their interests.

Cons

The entire company was turned upside down by Elon. It's leadership at its worst. There's no coherent strategy, zero company culture, and zero respect for employees or work life balance. Do not take a job at Twitter under Elon.
