Pros: Benefits, while they still last, like massages and snacks, are pretty good. Some good people are still around. Compensation being tied to Amazon stock. Kudos to recruiting/HR for posting 5-star reviews on a regular basis to keep the Glassdoor rating afloat.

Cons: Twitch used to be a great company to work at. Too bad the CEO and the executive team have turned a great company into a dumpster fire. There is no long-term vision for Twitch. The executive team just cares about hitting their numbers, on this meaningless metric called "minutes watched" that doesn't actually mean anything, can be easily gamed, and doesn't drive value. They're so desperate to hit their goals that they've resorted to shady accounting of minutes. Every single month, half of the company gets sucked into these MBRs and WBRs. While they are good concepts, the goal for these at Twitch isn't to actually report what happened, but to write a narrative that changes every single month to pretend we are actually doing great, while in reality, most things are terrible. This way, Amazon can be confused while the execs inch their way another month closer to their next vest. Zero product vision. Micro-managing CEO. Zero long-term thinking or strategy. PMs can't establish their own vision for products; instead, they become mere puppets for the CEO, who is far too deep into the weeds. Wish he would give the PMs the freedom to decide the color of a button and instead focus on actual important things. Incompetent executive team (70% should be fired given the performance of their orgs). Ineffective communication due to the changing requests every week/month. Good people leaving left and right. How this company is still being run this way for this long is beyond me, but I expect significant changes soon.

Pros: - Amazon pay without the Amazon PIP culture. - Fun product. - Has not been Amazonified as much.

Cons: - Ulm PTO is not really unlimited. - Depending on the team, your WLB will vary.

Pros: Free food and drinks Gaming room Good work equipment

Cons: 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.
