    The virtual onboarding is really well done. They adapted to it being virtual pretty seamlessly given the circumstances. I joined during the pandemic and had no problem going through onboarding. Everyone I've encountered is super nice and makes time to get to know you, but you might just need to be proactive in reaching out initially.

    I came from Amazon and do not regret it one bit. Twitter cares about its employees almost to a fault. When I was at Amazon a person in my org died and our L8 either didn't know or didn't care enough to mention it at an all hands. Night and day difference.

    Twitter takes inclusion and diversity incredibly seriously. It is core to the company's culture. It's been a bit of an adjustment for me personally to be mindful of always using inclusive language (e.g. say folks instead of guys, etc) but it's no big deal. People are a bit more open about their political leanings than other companies I've worked at, but nothing major. No one cares about Trump. The only time I hear about Trump is when people on Blind who don't work here talk about how much it matters. ๐Ÿ™„

      This so so insightful. Thank you very much ! Since you recently join, does Twitter offer one time financial for office set up? How about monthly wifi payment? Telephone bill?

      Also, how is the work time culture? Are they rigid on 9-5 or since it wfh- they are more relaxed? Is there a lot of expectations for sse?

  • Iโ€™ve heard of people getting fired from Twitter for saying genderphobic words such as โ€œguysโ€ or โ€œdudeโ€ instead of a safer word as โ€œtheyโ€ or โ€œyโ€™allโ€. Those people should be more careful to not cause such damage.

  • Questions about Twitter usually lead to comments about un/banning trump, Twitter being evil, Twitter is too woke, and about how to get an interview with them. Lol hopefully you get you questions answered tho
