I'm giving 5 stars because I do think Twitch is a great place to work.
Most of the Glassdoor reviews are polarized: either Twitch rules or Twitch sucks. I'm not sure how helpful that is, so here are two observations:
It's a product-driven company. The CEO is a former engineer turned product manager. If you work in engineering, UX, or any function that directly contributes to product, you're highly valued. If you're in partnerships, customer support, marketing, or any other function, you'll have a harder time getting things done.
Engineering quality varies massively by team. Some managers are running a tight ship, and others just let their engineers do whatever they want. Seattle is corporate, Irvine is the army, and San Francisco is the wild west.
If you're thinking of joining, great. If you like the team you'll be working with, Twitch won't let you down.
Enough said. Read the section before.

Worst interviewer I’ve ever had! He kept speaking of how he might get laid off in the next week. During the coding portion, he was not paying any attention to the problem. Even when I completed the problem, there was complete silence unless I asked
Standard non-technical screen with a recruiter, which led to a 1-hour technical phone screen. The technical phone screen questions were not too difficult, consisting of standard medium-level LeetCode questions. I made a few mistakes that I corrected
