I interviewed at Reddit

Interview

Very professional and clear on expectations. First round was screening, and second round was hiring manager. During the screening call, the recruiter gave an overview of the position and of the company. They also asked high level questions about my experience in product. Hiring Manager went into detail about my experience in product, and was able to easily answer my questions about the job's day to day and project types that the role was responsible for.

Interview

Recruiter communication is below par at best. Lack of engagement and interest to candidates within the pipeline. I had to reach out a number of times to touch base. The scheduling was also miscommunicated and had a few surprise sessions that weren’t on the official interview schedule. The interviews themselves were quite engaging. It was with a series of cross-functional partners probing into different collaboration and leadership capabilities. I was asked to do an additional interview, but I’ve still yet to hear back from the main recruiter or hiring manager about any decision made.

Interview Questions
  • Provide an example of a time where you’ve taken the lead or ownership of a project that included multiple cross-functional partners

Technical Account Manager

Being a woman in tech, I only recently started advocating for myself at work about advancement opportunities. Because of this I wanted to ask this question to my male counterparts. When you have 1:1's with your direct reports and talk about career growth / aspirations what is your managers’ response typically? I’d like to gauge how my experience (negative) differs from others. For instance are you met with blockades, enthusiasm, dread, etc?

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Reddit in Apr 2023

Streamlined and solid interview process with a recruiter answering questions along the way. Really enjoyed all the conversations and interview questions. Clear it's a solid team of engineers. Couldn't ask for more!

Interview Questions
  • Typical systems design and programming-style questions you'd expect from a Senior+ level interview. Nothing overly tricky or "gotcha".

Really quick and friendly. First, an interview with a Senior Product Designer that was more informational and conversational. The second round after was a white boarding session with the Staff Product Designer. After that, I got an offer after about a week.

The interview process went very smoothly. There were a few different rounds (initial screening call with HR, hiring manager interview, panel interviews, and a final interview round which included a take-home case study), but the whole process only took 4 weeks. The communication/follow-through from the recruiting team was amazing!

Interview Questions
  • Behavioral interview questions, measurement methodology questions

Two phone screens followed by an onsite interview. Weird on and off communication after onsite, ultimately ghosted and didn't receive interview results. Pretty unprofessional. The questions were not difficult but require preparation.

Made it to final round, they decided to go another way. Lovely people, great recruiter but the process went a little slowly and it was sometimes difficult to get quick responses.

I applied through other source. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Reddit in Mar 2023

Interview

Cold interview process with zero empathy and bad communication. No info prior meetings but asked to scheduled anyway no matter if details from job & conditions were not discussed at all apart from the basics in the job description… short answers all time like if it was answered by bots. It tooks almost 1 month and several emails to get some feedback (feedback was given but in a bad way) Best part: rejected due to bad communication (it was clear where the communication was bad from, is not fault of candidates)

Interview Questions
  • Asked how to build a backend API being a frontend position
  • Simple exercise but not giving any context, just 30 mins and good luck (asking too much but relevant questions seems it bothers)
