Are there any particular things related to work culture that I should look at as a new grad software engineer, choosing between these two ? The roles are for similar positions both of which suit my interests.

  • I have a friend at Yelp and he said they don't have levels/titles, everyone is just software engineer. He thinks it's a method to suppress promotions and wages.

      And once you get the Twitter stamp of validation on your resume you’ll be able to jump ship easier than yelp.

      What ePjl25 said. Put in your year, don’t be a fuck up, get your L2 promo, and if you are bored start looking.

      People will assume you know something about scale & distributed systems simply for having worked there. And everyone thinks they need someone with that skill set

    If those are your best options go for twitter. Yelp seems pretty lame in comparison and isn’t sexy for your resume either.

  • Definitely twitter! They won't become the next Facebook, that's clear, but still have solved some very tough eng problems and you will get to work at bigger scale with better engineers.
