      Very good tech company

      Pros

      Twitch is my third gig in SF / SV and I have numerous other data points from others in my network. I'd say Twitch is top 10% at _least_ among established bay area tech companies. Pay's strong if not top of class, talent is great on eng and product, office and work/life balance great as well. Engineering brand isn't what it should be given the talent, but there's some reason for that: lack of CTO, open source contributions, tech marketing. Product brand is strong at least among gaming enthusiasts.

      Cons

      Like any other top tech company, people complain about the smallest things.

      Very happy @ Twitch

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Engineering teams move quickly. There's no bureaucracy in the way. Engineers here care about quality of the product and code. Management is transparent about priorities and answer questions honestly. If you're into video games, the office is a really fun place to play with your coworkers during breaks.

      Cons

      Deadlines are frequent and sometimes hours are long, but everyone pitches in.

      Glassdoor and Blind App are not the problem

      Engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      There are some really smart people here.

      Cons

      Hiring: getting increasingly difficult. There are enough better tech companies out there (better culture, better leadership, better benefits, better pay). Leadership: there is none. Too many incompetent and political people who only care about their own reputation. Decisions force smart people out. Career progress: nonexistent. L4 -> L5, ok. L5 -> L6 can happen. L6 -> L7 - huh? (eng and PM, not sure about rest). CEO: insane. Can't and won't delegate. Passionate about product, but not actually good at it for the scale where things are now. Can't align people. HR: useless. Don't even know where to start with them... Care only if you have something that could damage company publicly. Twitch is all about gaming. Especially the game of politics.
