Pros: Great place to work. Great food and perks, goes without saying. The company is the type of place where people just hang out after work and play games because they enjoy it here and the people are awesome. But if you feel like working from home one day, or working a different schedule than everyone else, that's completely fine too. Twitch is at a particularly exciting phase where it's growing quickly and there are a ton of awesome features/products on the brink of being released. I think that our CEO and VP Engineering are both awesome and truly live and breathe this company.

Cons: Some delays or inefficiencies are caused by new people coming onboard each week and existing roles evolving. This is to be expected from a company in this phase, and overall, it seems to be handled pretty well. I think there is more work to be done in evolving the engineering organization and forming teams to own certain infra/product areas that are currently shared responsibilities, but I think the leadership is well aware of this and will make it happen.

Pros: There were plenty of people to share an average workload. I’m not sure how it looks now that the workforce has been reduced 35%.

Cons: Being the child company of Amazon makes it impossible to work for Twitch. It doesn’t matter what the leadership tries to do when Amazon can suddenly dictate they need to lay off almost half their staff.

Pros: Good. Okay. Can join the firm.

Cons: Leadership not good that much.
