      Leadership is a joke - Software Engineer Twitch Employee Review

      Pros

      Very good work life balance.

      Cons

      Twitch leadership is extremely political, especially in the product organization. We have no product vision other than to iterate on the current product. We haven’t shipped anything ambitious in the last two years since our CPO arrived. Also, our CPO hasn’t added any product talent to the company. We just do reorg after reorg and reset everything that people are working on, but it never goes anywhere.

      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.
