Pros

Unusually good work-life balance, the best lunch I've ever had, good pay. I'm very happy here. Unlike Facebook or Google, Twitter is still building a lot of new, great things - there isn't much maintenance or incremental work going on.

Cons

You've got to be good at learning new things without great docs - the company has been growing so quickly that many projects are poorly documented.
