Asking this as I decide final internship. Will like to convert to new grad and work for 2-3 years before pursuing a masters. I think pay is almost the same. Would appreciate if you share your reasons in addition to the poll! #tech #netflix #netflixinternship #twitch #twitchinternship #engineering #software
Netflix engineering is among the best in the world so much better for your resume long term. However moving up or even laterally within Netflix is quite difficult (once you leave new grad ranks). Twitch would be better for career growth if you wanted to stay at the same company and keep moving up
Twitch is also losing money and has dubious prospects, so there’s that to consider.
Go to Netflix go to Netflix
Twitch is under Amazon. If this doesn’t help you making the decision, I don’t know what will.
Interned at Amazon a few times and I loved my experience. What I saw on blind tells me it might not be the case for full time
Please take Netflix if you can
Up to L5 Netflix is great. And they do promote new grads, at least L3 to L4. If you can get an internship it is a great opportunity to start a career. It is not a great place after L5. No carrier growth unless you are really lucky. I do not say if you're good, since you should not be there if you are not good and you will not last. But a great place to start.
Thank you! Can you share more about what you mean by no career growth? Do you mean they’re strict with promotions?
Also how easy would you say it is to switch teams? And do people really get fired easily if they’re not producing results? Kind of got the message from their culture memo
Twitch’s culture is dying and growth opportunities have become standstill for many employees. As someone on the other side, I’d suggest Netflix.

Twitch is great and has great engineers but Netflix can’t be beat for career building and sheer weight on your resume.
