Interviewing with a team at twitch music

How is the overall culture at twitch? Curious to know about work like balance, oncalls, politics, teams to avoid.

    It is the same as amazon. Same pay, benefits, culture (maybe worse on average). Don't be fooled by it being a "hot" platform. Know guys ex-twitch, experience was worse than normal amazon retail/aws

    Twitch culture is inclusive, silly, and informal. It’s a wonderful place to work. The person who said “same as Amazon” couldn’t be more wrong. Twitch has a distinct and unique culture and almost everyone who works at twitch is some kind of nerd.

    Meme’ing and humor is encouraged. The company is liberal and focuses on inclusivity and equality.

    Work life balance will vary by team but in my experience managers are focused on encouraging employee wellbeing and forcing folks to actually use our unlimited PTO.

    I’ve never met a team that should be avoided. It is a microservice/devops shop so most tech teams do oncall. It’s going to vary based on service design but incidents are what you would expect at a mature technology company. Not a ton, not none. No flaming wreckage being managed.

    If you have the opportunity to work at twitch, take it.

    I think the culture is really, really good. Maybe depends on your team, but I work on a very supportive team. Excellent work life balance. Great perks (better than amazon).
