Process
I applied through LinkedIn.
The technical phone screen involved discussing myself and my projects for about 20 minutes, followed by an algorithm question. The difficulty was LeetCode Easy.
The onsite consisted of 4 technical interviews and 1 one-hour behavioral interview. I had solved over 300 LeetCode questions, and I would say the technical interviews were very easy for me, featuring questions of LeetCode Easy to Medium difficulty. All the questions I received were very similar to ones I had solved before, and it took me 20-25 minutes to solve each.
All interviewers were very nice and friendly.
I was rejected despite solving all the technical questions. It seems they prioritize company fit over technical skills.
Questions
Trie, 2D array, etc.

Twitch Work Experiences
- 5.0Best Company CultureSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeVancouver, British Columbia, CanadaFebruary 16, 2024Pros: I love working here. Everyone is really nice, and the benefits are amazing.Cons: None that I can think of
- 2.0Real Life Twitch ChatSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesFebruary 4, 2016Pros: - Gamer's haven with PC and console rooms, arcade, and live esports viewing. - Food, perks/benefits, and time off.Cons: Twitch as a company largely reflects its online culture: gamers with egos larger than their talent creating a disorganized workspace where the louder your scream, the more you get noticed. Quite literally, the internal chat could be a snapshot of Twitch chat. If you like to game, argue, and fight, you'll love it here. Upper management has lost control of the company; people say and do whatever they want. Imagine an environment where directors/VPs set the precedent of yelling, screaming, and throwing fits over a game. Imagine an environment where angry gamers never learned to behave; that's Twitch. If you want a professional environment to develop and grow, you're better off looking somewhere else.
- 4.0Pretty good companySoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 8, 2022Pros: Good company with a good remote work policy right now.Cons: Inexperienced managers. Difficult to get promoted even if you try to innovate. Managers don't incentivize employees to stay.
