iOS Engineer Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
Excellent experience interviewing with Twitch.
Recruiters made sure I had everything I needed to succeed at every step. The process had a slow start, but once I alerted them to another pending offer, they jumped through hoops to slot me in.
Employees were welcoming and professional on-site, and no questions felt unrelated or too difficult.
Standard Bay Area technical interview process:
- Call with recruiter
- 1 take-home technical test
- 1 phone screen with an engineer
- Onsite interview loop

Twitch Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Place to WorkiOS Engineer • Current EmployeeMarch 2, 2020Pros: Get to work on an awesome product. Great managers and coworkers. Get to work on industry-leading tech with challenging problems. Good company culture.Cons: Amazon does not pay as well as other big 5 tech companies. Bureaucracy can slow things down.
- 5.0Very good tech companyEngineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesOctober 12, 2018Pros: Twitch is my third gig in SF/SV, and I have numerous other data points from others in my network. I'd say Twitch is top 10% at _least_ among established Bay Area tech companies. Pay is strong, if not top of class. Talent is great on eng and product. Office and work/life balance are great as well. Engineering brand isn't what it should be, given the talent, but there's some reason for that: lack of CTO, open-source contributions, tech marketing. Product brand is strong, at least among gaming enthusiasts.Cons: Like any other top tech company, people complain about the smallest things.
- 3.0Sadly, slowing downSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 12, 2016Pros: Great product, inspiring engineers, hard challenges to solve, and a breathtaking office in central San Francisco.Cons: Managers. The current way of solving issues is hiring more managers, up until the point where nothing moves anywhere.
