I interviewed at Twitch for a Software Engineer role. The process felt challenging and deliberate over roughly a few weeks, with a testing approach that was more distinctive and less focused on standard LeetCode problems.

It started with a timed coding assignment. After that, I had a recruiter phone call, followed by a hiring manager discussion as the second phase. The technical testing used questions that evaluated knowledge differently from LeetCode, and some prompts tied to AWS products assessed my system design thinking.

I didn’t receive an offer. My takeaway was to practice system-design-adjacent thinking and get more comfortable with non-standard question formats.

Location: California City, CA. Overall feedback: Positive. Offer status: No offer.
