Pros

Twitch took a beating on Glassdoor over the past year or so. Some of the complaints are valid and have been addressed; for example, many leadership positions have been filled with qualified, talented people, and the rest-and-vesters are rolling out. Compensation is solid and backed by AMZN equity. The CEO is learning from past mistakes and no longer micromanages.

Twitch dominates live streaming and is growing with esports at a prodigious rate. Now is a good time to join this company.

Cons

Some toxicity from disgruntled employees continues to be tolerated.

Advice to Management

Cut failing products, double down on what's working. Same advice regarding your employees.
