Process
I interacted primarily through an HR person.
First, I was asked to complete a small programming question, in any language I preferred. After a review by an engineer, there was a Skype interview. Finally, an on-site interview with two members of the engineering team.
They even got back to me with their decision within 24 hours of my interview. They were very professional and made the entire process really streamlined for me. It was a good experience, despite not getting an offer.

Twitch Work Experiences
- 4.0Great Culture, Bad BenefitsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeptember 2, 2021Pros: Good culture, good work-life balance.Cons: Amazon benefits structure and payroll
- 1.0Company going sourSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJuly 12, 2017Pros: Free food and drinks Gaming room Good work equipmentCons: Culture has changed with the growth of the company. Twitch was once a very positive place, which is turning sour. It's a very cliquey culture, and far too many people now default to saying no to everything, with a very negative outlook. Career growth opportunities are a joke. Companies small and large are eating Twitch's lunch, such as Discord, YouTube, and Facebook. Surprisingly, a large amount of people work at Twitch who do not use Twitch. RIP customer focus.
- 3.0Great Culture, Lonely TeammateSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesNovember 14, 2017Pros: Twitch has a very good culture. Specifically, it is very nice that I am able to play video games during work hours.Cons: I do not feel very connected to my teammates. We do not spend a lot of time with each other during work or outside of work, so that makes sense. I spend a lot of time with my computer, though; we are pretty close.
