Twitch Senior Software Developer reviews

Free food and unlimited drinks and snacks. Comparable perks and above average compensation. However, what excites me the most is the growth trajectory they are on right now after finally finding the right balance to monetize and make the community happy. That means growth in scale and size of the products, teams and engineering opportunities, with the backing of Amazon to make it happen. I feel now is really the best time to join if you have missed the pre acquisition opportunity as finally the leadership has started taking the issue of employees grievances seriously and making changes to gradually make it a better workplace for everyone.

- Our biggest problem (at least on our team) is that we have a vision to build systems and tech much larger than today's, and the problem set is hard. It's rare to get to work on technical problems like this as a day job. - Amazon honestly is very lenient on us. We get to choose our tech stacks, tools, methodologies, etc. Their approach is not a top down one where you are told which CI system or tool to use. There are teams building support systems, and as an engineer you literally own your destiny and pick the best tools for the job. - The amount of freedom we have in terms of proposing projects that actually happen is really good. We have practically no restrictions on equipment and tech resource availability. The amount of freedom to pick and use open source or AWS resources is really, really good. As some one who worked in the past at places penny pinching, or where asking for compute resources were months long requests to finance, this availability makes me super happy. - The company does listen to feedback and take it seriously. Management actually cares about people and give priority to this. There has been a lot of movement lately to actually address pain points brought up.
