Process
It was pretty straightforward: one phone screen with a recruiting person and another with one of the team members.
They asked pretty basic questions that I know I did well on, but I never received a reply afterwards. I had to pester them for a few days just to get the rejection email, which left a bad taste in my mouth.
Numerous other reviews say the same, so if you interview, just be aware that they WILL ghost you.

Starting to Scale
Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Twitch is really coming into its own. Proper management and HR have provided much-needed stability after years of rapid expansion. The website scales well, and the technology has matured within AWS. Smart and talented people join the company each week from places like Facebook and Google. There's a bandwagon called e-sports, and everybody is jumping on it.
Cons: There's a little divide between "old" Twitch and "new" Twitch. New leaders are much more capable at our current size and scale, and that's really upset some of the old leaders. Nothing for anyone coming in the door to worry about, but it's an unfortunate by-product of a growing company.
