Process
At first I got the call from the recruiter for the screening process. They asked about the things on the resume and the work I did before. Then I progressed to the assessment round that consisted of an OOPs coding question.
Questions
One OOPs coding question was given in the OA. The time limit was two hours max.

Great Culture, Lonely Teammate

Pros: 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.

Pros: - Good food & office
- Generally nice people
- Good benefits (even though they cut the $100/month fitness stipend)
Cons: - Bad management.
- Have a lot of "engineering" managers who are not technical at all.
- Not enough PMs/designers, so everything takes a long time since they each have so many projects.
- Designs are reviewed by VPs in design, so approval takes a long time.
- Some orgs are really toxic.
- Culture changed a lot after two layoffs, becoming more Amazon-y.
