Pros

If you're into video games, this is a dream come true.

Work during the day, video game with coworkers after.

Have exclusive scoop on gaming news and events.

Cons

There are literally no growth opportunities here. If you join Twitch, expect to stay at your title forever.

May as well not give a salary raise because the raises here are negligible.

Upper management is underqualified and doesn't really know what they're doing.

The company will never promote you. Instead of promoting loyal and hardworking engineers to senior engineers, we are literally hiring from outside. Engineers who I don't even consider senior engineers nor respect as senior. There are a handful of employees who have worked here for years that deserve the senior engineer title way more than these so-called newly hired senior engineers. Please change this.

Advice to Management

Upper management needs to stay away from product decisions.

They get way too involved and push ridiculous deadlines.

Please stop hiring seniors from outside the company. Promote your employees from within! Please, please change this.
