Has good people and flexible remote work culture. Vey food vacations policy.
Not sure of the product direction. Layoffs. New CEO doesn’t know what he is doing.
I'm interesting in doing internal transfer to Twitch. I contacted a recruiter there and have a loop there. I wasn't asked for my design docs or CRs and this seems like a pretty form interview (a la external interview). I would obviously like to show off my internal stuff as I think it better demonst...Read more
How easy is the internal transfer process between Amazon and subsidiaries (i.e. Twitch)? I was wondering if I should take an Amazon offer and try transferring to Twitch as soon as possible or wait for my Twitch recruiter to get back to me when headcount opens again. Any help or insight into this mat...Read more

For Twitch folks, do you generally see individuals transfer from Amazon? If so, are you familiar with what that process looks like?
Anyone know anything about the process? Joined Amazon 4 months ago, was told I'd have to go through an interview loop with 3x technical and 1x behavioral for Twitch. To initiate the process, I have to apply through the job portal, which will notify manager. Not sure if worth the risk. TC: 180k, 1.5...Read more
I'm currently in Amazon in South Bay and recently my team's 2 most senior Devs left and now we're 4 (3 L5, 1 L4). The 3 L5s on my team (including me) are 2018 Q3/Q4 promos so we're all pretty new to the gig, but still capable. However, I highly value having "senior" L5s/L6s on my team that have YoE ...Read more
I recall that Twitch always has a full loop for internal transfers from Amazon to Twitch. (You click Apply, your manager is notified, you have a full loop.) Does it mean they don't look into Forte and don't talk to your old manager? Any other org has a similar procedure? Is there any waiting peri...Read more

Does anyone know if salaries change within the same internal job title going from Amazon to Twitch? Thanks for your help
Hey guys, I’ve been considering interviewing with some Twitch teams. How do managers usually prefer Amazon candiates to apply, via internal job portal/emailing them or by apply through Twitch job site like external candiates? I ask because it seems pointless to apply internally since Twitch seems t...Read more

The entire Twitch codebase got leaked and also some Amazon sdks. Not to mention streamer payouts. Twitch is basically open source at this point. Probably the biggest software leak in history. So how are things internally? We need juicy details.
Currently an L5 SDE and I am thinking about switching to Twitch. Any thoughts on whether this would be a good learning opportunity and safe choice given the current market? How is Twitch doing in terms of revenue compared to other Amazon orgs? Also, the internal transfer to Twitch requires a full i...Read more
Thinking about a move to Twitch but generally hearing not so great things about the culture and internal politics. I'm also seeing quiet a bit of job postings for twitch prime. Was there a reorg? Anyone have insights? How is upper management?
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'm interested in hearing from folks who have worked at both Twitch and Amazon recently. How do the two companies compare? What are the cultural differences? What are the functional differences (tech stack, internal tools, etc)? What are the compensation and benefit differences (medical, total comp...Read more
