Great product that overall has a lot of deeply passionate fans. TwitchCon is a blast.
I LOVE my manager, and my manager's manager. Really enjoy working with my team over the past couple years. I have many close friends within the company now.
I've learned a ton at the company, and I get a lot of flexibility to pursue projects that are important to me (and add value to our team/company, of course).
I can easily see it being a company I stick with for a long time (10 years).
As with most places, work experience can vary by team.
Collaboration within the company is a weak area. Everyone's trying to work hard on this, but there have certainly been some growing pains.
Compensation is a little too heavily indexed on Amazon stock. Compensation adjustments due to raises or promotions largely come in stock grants, which can take a couple of years before you see that money – not the most immediately gratifying thing.
It was heavily focused on people management and less on technical depth.
The recruiter finally contacted me approximately three months after an internal referral. The initial interview with the recruiter went well and was followed up very quickly. The interview with the hiring manager was scheduled very quickly and cons
There was a recruiter talk, then a manager talk, then a phone screen, and finally onsite interviews. It was enjoyable and it felt more like a conversation rather than a grilling.
