Process

I was contacted by an internal recruiter who set me up with a phone interview.

After the phone interview, I was invited to do an onsite at their office.

I was given a tour of the office and then interviewed by engineers, management, and people with whom I may work cross-functionally.

I was also given the chance to grab any drinks or snacks while interviewing.

All the people at Twitch are very friendly and easy to talk to. They're really looking for someone who's not just smart, but also a good culture fit within the company.

Also, be prepared to talk about how you use Twitch and what you watch!

Questions

I was asked behavioral questions to deem cultural fit.

Technical questions touched on syntax, peculiarities, and characteristics of your strongest language.

Coding questions included algorithms and design-related questions. Be prepared to write code that runs and to iterate and improve your code.
