Pros

The office is pretty nice, even if we've outgrown it

Cons

- CEO and Exec Team are not capable of taking Twitch to the next level. Major shake-ups are needed. - Many employees are floating without contributing anything to their teams, putting an unfair burden on others. Pre-acquisition employees are deemed "untouchable." - Unfriendly work atmosphere. Don't expect to make any friends here. - Products are designed to make more money from existing users instead of making the platform more accessible new users, hence the slow growth. - Way too many Product Managers and not enough "do-ers." Projects move slowly and rarely meet their goals. - Culture of public shaming via Slack. - Nothing has been done to address the declining morale, productivity, or Glassdoor review scores. If Twitch doesn't care, why should I? I'm out.
