Looks like reviews on glassdoor has been hovering around 3.7. Love the product but ratings don't look great.
Not a good company.
why
I enjoy working here. It’s gotten a lot better since I started 2 years ago, and to be frank, as a lot of the OG staff have moved on/out, it’s gotten a lot better. An attitude to make a good, functional product that produces results and keeps the community happy. A big departure from the culture I joined into where the only thing that mattered was our unique community and culture and that led to half baked ideas, no accountability(even with Emmet) and no actual goal moving forward.
its a great place to work. Engineering teams are generally decent. Cool perks. Many awesome technical challenges due to scale. People are passionate.
I left 6 months ago and it was one of the worst jobs I’ve ever had in my decade+ career. My coworkers were awesome and loved the product / community, but it’s chaotic, critical, and short-sighted on the business end. So I would thoroughly vet your potential team. People just generally weren’t very nice, weren’t patient, and in constant exec thrash. Hoping new exec hires can right the ship bc there are some great people that would do much better if it was a sane working environment.
+1000, and a culture of backstabbing, politics and constant blaming
agree strongly. I'm out after my next vest.
If you like twitch, use it as a customer from the outside. There’s no reason to join the chaos when there are dozens of better places to work in the Bay Area. Tons of churn is expected this year and it has already started.
See the thing is, I feel like if you were an engineer, life is probably pretty good because you have a singular focus of executing on a product and as long as you ship products, you're fine. But if you were in any business role, given that the company doesn't have a real strategy and pivots every 2 weeks, your life is a miserable mess of power politics and angry people trying to get their own version of the strategy pushed through
I can agree with this, I was a non-eng and it was very clearly a different world. Only exception maybe dev success / clips where even eng’s couldn’t escape the chaos.
/sub I talked to someone I know there I think layoffs hurt morale as well.
don't think there have been layoffs for a while
