Process
The interview process starts with a phone screen.
If you pass that, you are brought on-site for about 5 in-person technical interviews.
I was asked 4 coding questions, all of moderate difficulty.
In addition to this, there were some system design and data modeling questions as well.
In general, they seem to be looking for a well-rounded engineer who is also very passionate about the gaming and esports streaming space.

Twitch Work Experiences
- 3.0Not that different from AmazonSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSeattle, Washington, United StatesAugust 24, 2022Pros: Smart and passionate colleagues, gold-standard engineering practices.Cons: Like with most of Amazon, your worth is gauged by your productivity and not your impact.
- 5.0Recommend working at TwitchSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJanuary 5, 2016Pros: 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.
- 3.0Great Culture, Lonely TeammateSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesNovember 14, 2017Pros: Twitch has a very good culture. Specifically, it is very nice that I am able to play video games during work hours.Cons: I do not feel very connected to my teammates. We do not spend a lot of time with each other during work or outside of work, so that makes sense. I spend a lot of time with my computer, though; we are pretty close.
