Pros

-The product/communities on Twitch -The perks (massage, food, drinks, in-office dentist/medical) -Gaming as an industry is on the climb

Cons

-The entitlement is out of control at this company. Many employees don’t understand that they’re living large off of Amazon’s handouts, while Amazon isn’t aware of how unscrupulous Twitch is with their money. -Management team is completely clueless. CEO, CFO, CMO and COO foster teams that rely on fire drilling with little to no stability. There have been several reorganizations, and with each one, it becomes more clear that the leadership team is lost. -No accountability all the way down the management chain. Twitch doesn’t reward/punish people for achieving or missing their goals, they just continue to focus their time on creating new goals for the following year. -There is no career development at Twitch. Most employees that have received promotions have done so through playing politics and becoming the most useful firefighter. Twitch does not have a culture of merit based compensation/promotions.
