Process
I had a phone screen, followed by a technical interview, and a virtual onsite interview. During the virtual onsite, I had 3 separate interviews with engineers at the company. I heard back regarding my decision soon after the virtual onsite interview.

Great Perks, Lacking Diversity

Pros: Lots of benefits and perks. Great work and a challenging environment.

It was great before the layoffs
Software Engineer L4 • Former Employee
Sacramento, California, United States

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: The fact that Twitch employees could continue being remote while Amazon enforced RTO. Also, the brand.
Cons: Incompetent leadership and middle management. Vague performance metrics.
