Twitter’s Recruitment Video is Awful-Fantastic

Twitter pushed out a home-brewed recruitment video yesterday and, friends, it’s awful. But it’s also fantastic. In it, you’re taken on a completely self-aware, magical journey through all the perks of working for Twitter, while simultaneously lambasting the many tropes of terrible corporate-made videos. Is there awkward, forced conversation? Yes. Terrible green-screening? You bet. You might be wondering what exactly that has to do with a dry erase portrait of Twitter CEO Dick Costolo with superimposed lips ala Clutch Cargo. You’re just going to have to watch it and find out.
