Pros

The best stuff doesn't apply since COVID-19. It's a great office space with excellent food, free beer and lots of games. It still has unlimited PTO and good insurance.

Cons

COO is the leader of a toxic culture that promotes by back-stabbing, gossip and butt-kissing. Lots of empty talk about diversity from an all-white HR and senior management teams. Twitch loves to talk about their Values, but you don't see management following them. Frequent reorgs mean that priorities are always changing. Managers are free to write whatever they want in reviews but aren't reviewed by their teams. No real possibilities for promotions. CEO is dismissive of bad press that exposes flaws in the company.

Glassdoor Reviews don't do this place justice.

Pros

If you want to ship software that genuinely changes peoples' lives, Twitch is a great choice. It may sound silly but every week we hear from content creators who have managed to leave behind a job that made them unhappy in order to stream full time for their community. And if you're into it, we get great perks and good Amazon benefits. Comp is competitive, if maybe not out-of-this-world. For some reason, some of our colleagues haven't been kind to Twitch on Glassdoor in the past. I'll just say that I'm happy, and so are all of the people that I work with here. After working for a big pressure-cooker tech company in a past life, I can say Twitch supports an amazingly positive and collaborative environment while still managing to get things done.

Cons

Twitch is trying to do too much, and as a result some teams seem confused as to how their initiatives fit in.

The great company that fell apart as it scaled

Pros

- Nice office and even nicer one coming - Standard perks and solid Amazon benefits - Amazon stock still solid - Gaming, gaming, gaming

Cons

- Fairly dysfunctional at the top - Leadership doesn't really care about the people, they're too desperate to make something happen - Ticking clock before Amazon makes major changes - Lack of transparency - Pretty lax work environment, most engineers aren't working hard
