Being an engineer at Twitter is much more akin to an enterprise like a bank or telco.

You need to be a team player and work across different groups e.g. Product, Testing, SRE etc in order to successfully get features into Production.

So being a talented engineer is useful but having high emotional intelligence and being able to negotiate and collaborate is far more important.

I'm surprised more people don't realize this. It happens to all big corp.
