Data Engineer Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
I first got on a call with a very friendly recruiter who was informative and seemed genuinely excited about Reddit and where they're going.
Next was an hour-long technical round that I didn't pass. It wasn't very hard, and the interviewer was friendly and helpful; I just didn't have enough time in my schedule to brush up on SQL.
Overall, the experience was a great one.
Questions
Simple SQL queries on two tables on sales revenue and advertisers.
- Find the daily performance of the advertiser with the highest weekly revenue last week.
- Find the percentage of advertisers who reported revenue over $40.
I think there would have been some Python questions following the SQL if we had finished this part.
The interviewer was super helpful, and I was able to reach a working solution with his guidance.

- 5.0Great work-life balance, people, and fully remote workS S E(Senior Software Engineer) • Current EmployeeNew York, New York, United StatesSeptember 15, 2024Pros: WLB (on my team) is very good. This is entirely team and org dependent though. Fully remote work is invaluable; I don't think I can go back to any other model. The flexibility is unparalleled. We do have offices if you prefer to go in. The people are super smart here in my experience and very friendly. I also enjoy how everyone is a little weird, which makes conversations interesting. Same pay no matter where you work (in the US, anyways).Cons: - Compensation could be higher. Companies like Meta/Google pay a lot more, in my opinion, unless you were here pre-IPO.
