Great place to work

Pros

Fantastic product, lots of upside with future growth. Company culture is great, everyone is genuine, friendly, and nice. Catered lunch and dinner every day, and breakfast a few days a week. Gorgeous offices, best equipment. Hard working environment, but there is work/life balance, if you want to work out middle of day, fine, just get your job done. Great for people who want to actually contribute to the company and feel they're participating in something real. Not great if you're a piker and want to clock-in/clock-out without being noticed. Really fun and invigorating place to work.

Cons

Some teams internally seem to operate in silos. But people complain about this and all you have to do is go meet with other teams. Take action to fix things you think are broken, don't sit back and complain.

Pros

Great place for exceptional engineers who want to work on some bleeding edge problems, with other very talented people, and likes the freedom to play games at work.

Cons

Very much still a startup -- which depending on your point of view, could be a Pro.

Incredible place to work

Pros

More than the obvious perks (we essentially work in a clubhouse filled with video games, great food, and even better booze), Twitch is an incredibly well run company with an amazing culture and a great, diverse, talented team. Management consistently impresses, and even with massive scale and success has stuck to straight-forward, data-driven decision making, transparency with the team (as much as reasonably possible), and merit based hiring and promotion. They are one of the very few companies I'm aware of that consistently prioritizes internal promotion over outside recruiting for management positions, and the results speak for themselves. The culture is product focused, fun, and supportive. Everyone expects a lot from each other, but management leads by example and takes a very progressive tack in motivating the team to be successful. Post-acquisition, Twitch still operates very independently, and we see nothing but positive, beneficial synergies in how we interface with Amazon. User and revenue growth has accelerated to a level that is almost unbelievable. Cannot recommend working at Twitch highly enough, and am very thankful to be a part of the team.

Cons

I can't think of any worth mentioning.
