Pros

Before the acquisition, Twitter was an amazing place to work! Colleagues were all very bright and hard-working and there was a culture of collaboration and inclusion. Unfortunately, that company is gone now.

Cons

The company is now controlled by a thin-skinned megalomaniac billionaire who doesn’t know what he’s doing. He’s already destroyed the collaborative culture of Twitter. He constantly accuses employees of not working hard enough while they are pulling all-nighters to build his hair-brained product features that will not make Twitter more profitable. It’s sad to see a company with such potential implode. Avoid at all costs.
