Not sure of the product direction. Layoffs. New CEO doesn’t know what he is doing.
Not trying to sound stupid, entitled, or naive here... And I know the question itself might not make all that much sense... but was wondering what other companies out there have a fun and low stress vibe to be part of.

I'm considering an internal switch to either Twitch or AWS in Bay Area. I'm currently an L5 SDE with 2 YOE, so I want to optimize learning and growth.

This is...Read more

I have been working at Twitch (non-eng) for 5+ years, been a manager for majority of it and moved back to an IC role (my request) in 2021.

Hi Blind! Asking for referrals. Currently at Amazon but have concerns about my longevity at the company (and I still have new grad status that I don't want to waste).
