Pros

Great product, inspiring engineers, hard challenges to solve and a breathtaking office in central San Francisco.

Cons

Managers. The current way of solving issues is hiring more managers up until the point where nothing moves anywhere.

Twitch Response

Appreciate the feedback. if you're ever interested, would love to chat directly about your manager concerns. I don't think we're just hiring "managers", I believe the rate at which we've hired managers is definitely in-line with the overall hiring growth of the company. But would love to hear more on your take. thanks, Arthur Yamamoto / Director of Recruiting
