Had a strange interview loop at Twitch... Then checked their Glassdoor. Looks like things are turning sour? Any opinions on whether it's worth taking a job there?
Glassdoor, Blind, anything you do to gather more information is worth these days.
This is another to be dead project isnt it.. I had more hope from Dropbox and it turns out to be another dying tech organization
Definitely not. Twitch is booming.
One of my friend had an offer from twitch around Jan'17. He was advised not to take up the offer by his connection over there back then. Their interview process for s/w engg is random in terms of people on the loop.
Where did he go instead?
He ended up joining a startup
If you see some themes in the Glassdoor reviews, then I'd say listen to them. My experience has been that they're based on at least some truth.
I see people working crazy late there frequently, I usually take this as a bad sign.
Nah I'm usually there late playing overwatch
I'll be sure to wave hi next time lol
Management is underqualified, leadership is out of touch, and the product has absolutely no vision behind it at this point. It feels like Amazon will stage a complete takeover at any time.

They do get free lunch and we don't, so there's that.
Ah ha! So you're the smilin' gary... was wondering who took that username lol

there any more details on the reviews you are reading? it varys team to team I'd say.
No idea, but i definitely take glass door more seriously after my last job. The bunch of bad followed things becoming pretty shitty.
Can you elaborate on, or even just explain what your last sentence means? I don't get it.
Oops typo. Bad reviews followed company getting and staying shitty. They were a pretty accurate view of what was happening.
