RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Twitter full-time (More than 5 years)
Pros
Culture - smart, driven, yet team-oriented people (this is a rare combination). I genuinely love who I work with (and our motto of #LoveWhereYouWork is honored throughout the company)
Mission - people at Twitter love the product and what it is doing in the worldCons
There's always outside noise as everyone (especially the media) likes to give their opinion on the company and the predictions about the business.
Advice to Management
If you can make the product easier so my Mom can use it, we will bring in a lot of new users (and given another person to participate in our conversations that is always about what is happening on Twitter! )

Pros
Smart employees - Twitter hired the best and brightest and they stuck with the company. Talented individuals who know their craft very well.
Management - After some brief turnover, staff has settled down and defined a pretty good plan for the company. They're gelling well together and trying to go after some of the legacy processes/tools to fix.Cons
Slow moving changes at times, company could march to a faster beat too, though one step at time has worked the last few years.
Advice to Management
Think of creative solutions to increase output from development teams by hiring more and or using staff augmentation. Throw some coal in the fire and make this train move a little faster.

Pros
@Jack is a really great spiritual leader for the company.
They embrace, perhaps even over-embrace inclusion (meaning its in your face constantly).
The food quality has gone way down over the years but hey its still free food. Same goes for snacks.
My particular VP was pretty great, some downsides I mention in the Cons.
Pre-IPO equity was great.
Great Parental Leave Policy 5 months, though I never got to use it.
Great vacation policy. Unlimited.
Men & Women are paid equally!Cons
They only try and promote 15% of the people a year, meaning on average each person gets an opportunity for promotion every 6 years.
The pay they claim is at 75% of Market, but its really closer to 60% I believe.
The Leadership care more about what is going to be discussed at their staff meeting than what is actually going on in their team. Each staff member has hired a second in command that literally makes all the decisions which are often mis-guided.
The HR team is crooked. Literally! Besides the fact that they are leaving and flocking out in masses, they are quick to be emotional and not working to really solve any problems, instead they just want to throw money at everything in their org except the people outside their org.
I know more about what I'm doing than my manager but they are older so presumed to know more.
My leadership does not back us up. I actually complained about someone to HR and their leadership based on my direct reports request, they heard about it and then counter complained. They got promoted and I was lectured about partnering when I was backing up my team.
There is a double standard for everything!
Most of the good people have left, so most who are left point to everyone else and say "not my job".
My manager literally is lackluster. No back-bone. Nice person, but still makes me have to give into everything or i look bad because I know my manager will give in.
The health benefits have gotten worse every year since I have been here.Advice to Management
Look into Travel! There is some major abuse going on!
The TotalTeam summit seams like a ridiculous use of money since we all are having offsites in addition to this.
Be consistent with policies!
Leadership/Staff needs to start caring what goes on in their org.
Downsize the HR team and hire more engineers, product people, etc.
Pay people what they are worth!Twitter 2018-06-07 15:05 PDTHelpful (1)
