      Staff Data Scientist Interview

      Feb 17, 2021
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      New York, NY
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Reddit (New York, NY) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      Reddit is at an exciting stage of growth and I was super pumped to interview at the company. I was more excited to hear I would be getting an offer. However, the offer was low (in level) as a result of a generally weak and uncalibrated interview process. Out of 8 different company interviews (that I did), it was the easiest and least comprehensive interview panel. Despite being told pre-interview that I was interviewing for Staff Data Scientist, the team made clear only after the offer that their interview is set up for Senior DS and they can't actually make Staff-level offers. I’d argue their interview doesn’t even assess Senior-level DS skills. I'm really disappointed in the team for not being transparent -- or worse -- misleading me to think they could actually make a Staff-level offer. This wastes everyone's time: please don't do this Reddit. Process: - Recruiter contact - Recruiter phone call - Scheduling - Technical Phone Screen (Basic SQL) - Scheduling - Final Round (More Basic SQL, No Coding, No Machine Learning, No Statistics, Light behavioral, very very light causal inference, a couple of stakeholder / problem solving interviews)
