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.
