Pros

I like the actual platform, and some of my coworkers are delightful.

Cons

Twitter is bro-heavy from the top down. Women have very little opportunity for advancement. Once, someone asked why there weren't more women in sales leadership positions and someone got up and talked about how great the women in sales were. Two weeks later, 5 people were promoted in sales. Guess how many women? ZERO. I have seen bosses with admins humiliate their admins in meetings (admins being mostly women, this is a huge red flag), and they definitely are not shown respect. "The fish stinks from the head," as they say. In this case, it is definitely true.

Pros

Free breakfast + lunch

Cons

Have never experienced a more cliquey and toxic work environment. Lots of nepotism, racism and harassment happening here to women and especially women of color and management turns a blind eye. There’s no accountability and if you’re in the boys club you get away with it. If you bring up concerns of discrimination, legal makes a case against you and throws you out (the one who complained). Lots of attrition and those who are favorited get better treatment. For a company that tries hard to achieve diversity, everybody looks the same and those who do look different end up getting the boot. Would not overlook this and other reviews stating the same.

Pros

This used to be an awesome place to work where leadership respected employees and welcomed feedback. We all worked together for one goal and the good of the team. Was it perfect? No, we should have dispensed with jacks services the first time around and not let him back in. But this was the most authentic place I’ve worked and I learned so much. It was a fantastic company warts and all.

Cons

When I quit this hell hole in Nov (yes I left of my own accord) this place was as toxic as you could ever imagine. Elons lack of comms or expertise in social media, his inept management team who’ve never had an original thought in their lives (elon says this, elon says that) spouting absolute nonsense to tenured experts were embarrassing themselves at every turn. Personally I left a huge amount of $$$ on the table because I simply couldn’t bear to spend another minute with this bunch and I absolutely pity the remaining folks who unfortunately are mostly there to keep their visas or because they have financial obligation. If you love to work in an atmosphere of fear, listening to utter tripe come out of leaderships mouths and don’t want to be treated like a human or value any kind of diversity or empathy (or business sense) then this is the place for you.
