Pros

Open communication from the management. Transparency is one of the strong points of this company. A lot of stuff to do but still have work-life balance. If you have experience in both startup and bigger companies you will be in a good environment here. There are a lot of things to improve and management will allow you to contribute based on your experience. Colleagues are open and always willing to collaborate.

Cons

I just feel that there are too much people working on this company. No plans yet to open up office to countries where Twitter is mostly used. We should start our localization and be on target to release them in a short period of time.

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 The department relies heavily on outdated and manual processes that create inefficiencies and unnecessary work.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