The culture here is really toxic and downright exhausting. Really draining for all parties involved, I think. Newer additions see the existing structure and tech stack as a mess and pre-acq employees as non-contributors or incompetent, and those who have been with Twitch for longer are disappointed with the culture change and dilution of the product/content. This could be mitigated by strong executive management, but the executive team is simply weak, and often contributes to the problem with decision whiplash, constantly moving goalposts, frequent re-orgs and a preference for gossip and finger-pointing over directly tackling issues. The CEO himself is the source an overwhelming majority of the time and it just trickles down from there.
The mess is exacerbated by a near non-existent career development or HR structure to reward successful employees, or even provide basic help for those who are suffering. (Stories of people waiting years for promised role changes are common.) Employees' only recourse is to leave or get extremely apathetic and lean on the flexible work policy.
