Pros: Fun work environment, easy to find talented co-workers who help you grow. Interesting and growing market. Best place I've worked so far.
Cons: Twitch is no longer a small company, which in general means a number of things:
you have less influence,
there's more process,
things move slower.
Still likely better than most workplaces of similar size though.
