I applied online. I interviewed at Twitch (San Francisco, CA) in Aug 2025
Interview
Screening with Recruiter - 20 min discussion
Interview with Hiring manager - 60 min
Got rejection after this round.
Twitch interviews are mostly behavioral based. As this was entry level position, they were assessing more on behavioral aspects and how can candidate be well suited for their team, culture.
Interviewer was friendly and encouraged questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Twitch? What are your strengths? etc
General situation based questions where they assess whether you're culture fit or not.
One or two technical questions as per my past experience.
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.
