I applied online. I interviewed at Twitch (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
Terrible experience. First was a guy that smelled and showed up 10+ minutes late and never apologized. Asked trivial questions on about binary trees; didn't seem like he even knew what to ask. Asked me about my projects, talked down about them, but brushed me off when asked about about his. Next was a system design round, which went well, nothig surprising. After that was the HM, a passive-aggressive guy that grilled me about my background and tenures on past jobs, and implied I was a drain on previous companies (though I've been promoted twice at two different places). Next was lunch with an engineer that basically confirmed that the HM had no credibility or technical skills. Cultural vibe was weird as when HM sat down with the rest of the team, everyone immediately closed up and it was awkward. Next was a coding challenge which was a graph traversal problem; I was told I gave the best solution and explanation by the interviewer that they'd ever seen. Finally another design/talking round with an engineer, pretty trivial.
I wouldn't interview or work here, as you can tell that from an engineering standpoint the place is a mess. Didn't get the offer as expected but ended up getting offers from Google and Dropbox. Again, remember that respectable engineers wouldn't work here. During on-sites with other companies, I kept seeing engineers from Twitch who'd stayed there like a year.
I passed the Codesignal pre-screen and was invited to an intro call. The intro call included behavioral questions which I didn’t expect so I was not able to give good answers. The recruiter seemed cold and disengaged, he did not answer my email about interview process and did not turn on camera during the call, probably typical for big companies due to high volume of candidates.
At first I got the call from the recruiter for the screening process. Asked about the things on the resume work I did before. Then progressed to assesment round that consisted of OOPS coding question.

A recruiter reached out and described the role, sent out an online CodeSignal assessment. Afterwards waited a few days to receive invite to a 45-minute technical interview with the hiring manager.
