Good to have on your resume for next future jobs
No work life balance, 60+ hours is the expectation for everyone
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. Company has hunkered down with Amazon pressure, and growth is not available anymore outside maybe a few small pockets. Those looking to grow their career have left or are planning to.
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. But I also want good WLB - I don't mind spending the occasional night working late to learn more about the work I'm genuinely interested in. But I do...Read more
If you try to transfer from AWS to Twitch do you have to go through the same rounds of interviews again or is it simplified?
Has anyone here moved between Twitch and Amazon? What are your thoughts? I’m considering moving from Amazon (AWS) to Twitch. While AWS is definitely a cool org, I really like product at Twitch. Currently SDE 1.
Seriously, which one looks better on a resume?

I'm fairly new to working at big tech companies and at this stage in my career I'd like to prioritize career growth and opportunity to learn first before TC. Which one of...Read more
I know the hiring process is completely different but what about work culture? A tech recruiter from Twitch reached out to me. I have been avoiding AWS as I dont like the culture but what about Twitch or Ring?
I’ve got the opportunity to join AWS or Twitch as a sales role - which would you take and why? Comp is exactly the same (internal transfer) The Twitch HM is saying that twitch is joining amazon, but will remain a separate company, with the perks, culture, etc remaining distinct from amazon. Is this...Read more

I’ve DE interview with twitch. I’m not really prepped but wanted to give a shot. If I fail in interview, will I be on hold for Amazon/aws roles until the cool down period(say 6 months or an year)?
I recently received an offer from a team in AWS palo alto but rejected it due to lower compensation. Now, within a month, I have an initial phone round with a Twitch manager. So, is it wise to ask the manager if the offer can be transferred? Or is Twitch’s pipeline completely independent from vanil...Read more
I was a former L6 at AWS/Amazon last year and I am wondering if I could join Twitch by just doing the Hiring Manager and Hiring Bar loops (a streamline loop). Any Twitch managers here? #amazon #twitch
I have on-sites scheduled over the next 2 days for both AWS and Twitch. I want to cancel the on-site for AWS, but I’m worried it’ll somehow negatively affect me for Twitch because it’s all through Amazon. I received confirmation emails today so it’s rather last minute (I had to reschedule AWS in th...Read more
This burns more than hell. https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/company-news/update-from-ceo-andy-jassy-on-amazons-operating-plan-and-additional-role-eliminations Should you recommend Amazon to your friends and family.
To all you Amazon peeps, is that possible? Or does it all fall under the same recruitment portal and only one recruiter can take you at a time? Tc :135
