Pros

Fun company, fun problem space, good compensation, amazing good service.

Cons

Twitch is torn between it's legacy of being at the cutting edge of gaming entertainment 10 years ago, and the influencer-driven present / future. Senior leadership - despite their efforts to relate - are woefully out of touch with users. The prevailing pressure is squeeze more out of an old way of thinking, rather than to move with the times. Proceed with caution.

Pros

The culture and people are bar none the best. If youre a quirky person with a sharp tongue, quick laugh, and kind heart you'll like the place.

Cons

Amazon as an overlord. Twitch isnt doing well and Amazon is unhappy to be paying the bills. Layoffs dont seem to end. Rolls dont seem to get filled.
