I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Twitch in Dec 2014
Interview
I had two technical interviews by phone, and then four technical + 2 HR-ish (1:1) interviews onsite. During the onsite interview I was able to talk and eat lunch with various Twitch employees, who were very nice and interesting. For the 1:1 interviews it's usually about 15 minutes of talking about personal background, followed by up to 3 coding questions. Same for the phone interviews.

Question 1
Adaptation of the Pokemon ice cave scenario (so obtaining the fastest path from A to B on the map)
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.
