Process

I applied online for a generic Software Engineering position.

A week later, a recruiter called to discuss Twitch, my background, and my career aspirations.

Twitch then sent me an online exam to complete. I had approximately three hours to finish it, which included three coding questions.

A couple of weeks later, I was invited for an on-site interview.

The on-site consisted of:

  • Three technical interviews: these primarily involved whiteboard coding and system design, with one interview conducted on a computer (where I could choose my preferred environment).
  • A lunch session with a team member to discuss Twitch's culture, roles, work environment, and my background.
  • A final interview with the hiring manager, who reviewed my entire background, experiences, and challenges.

Questions

Mostly just some data structure/algorithm questions. Pretty simple stuff.
