WLB on average is good, though not as good for many since the latest layoffs in Jan. Culture has always been Twitch's strength as a platform and work environment - lots of friendly and collaborative people.
Over 50% of the company was laid off in the past year. Two massive layoffs March 2023 and Jan 2024, with smaller silent axes in between.

What is the difference between the Twitch HQ team in California (San Fran) and the teams in Amazon Seattle Corporate office?
400/2200 laid off. To be honest, I’m not even sure what they were doing. Ads are still manually set up, and there’s little to no ad targeting. Absurd. Not even sure what daily tasks would look like besides process manual ad requests. Surely automatic ads would’ve been done by now (12 years). Salar...Read more
