Process
The recruiter and the interviewer were very friendly. The recruiter asked some questions, like why Twitch, and a behavioral question. I passed the coding round, but they said this position was closed.

Real Life Twitch Chat
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
February 4, 2016
Pros: - Gamer's haven with PC and console rooms, arcade, and live esports viewing.
- Food, perks/benefits, and time off.
Cons: Twitch as a company largely reflects its online culture: gamers with egos larger than their talent creating a disorganized workspace where the louder your scream, the more you get noticed. Quite literally, the internal chat could be a snapshot of Twitch chat.
If you like to game, argue, and fight, you'll love it here. Upper management has lost control of the company; people say and do whatever they want. Imagine an environment where directors/VPs set the precedent of yelling, screaming, and throwing fits over a game. Imagine an environment where angry gamers never learned to behave; that's Twitch. If you want a professional environment to develop and grow, you're better off looking somewhere else.
