Senior Engineering Manager, Quality Engineering Interview Experience - San Francisco, California
Process
The interview process was pretty straightforward. I was introduced to HR through a friend, had a phone screen/conversation, and then I was reached out by a recruiter a day after to continue with the process. Then came the on-site interview. I met a total of 8 engineering leaders. Each 1:1 was different and covered different types of topics:
- Technical
- Management
- Lunch
- AMA
- Cross-functional interview
Everyone was friendly and made me feel very comfortable, to the extent that I didn't feel I was being interviewed. Rather, I felt we had good quality conversations.

Reddit Work Experiences
- 3.0Good Benefits, Toxic ManagersSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesMarch 20, 2021Pros: Very good fringe benefits and decent wages. Probably will IPO some day for real after a decade of fumbling. Interesting challenges, still small enough for individuals to make a difference.Cons: Rewards showmanship over thoughtfulness. Entertaining presentations get the attention. The company takes many days off during the work week for hack weeks, parties, and other feel-good events, when we should be working on the product. Toxic managers exist and are retained, while people run away from them. Chaotic product decisions are the company’s legacy. Site is down a lot.
- 5.0Interesting work, great pay/benefits, strong leadershipSenior Software Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Francisco, California, United StatesJune 9, 2017Pros: Work - There's tons of low-hanging fruit at Reddit, so everyone has the opportunity to have a big impact. We have just over 200 employees but reach over 250 million users. Career opportunities - The execs place a huge emphasis on providing a clear path for people to advance their careers, both for ICs or managers. Benefits - As strong as any top-tier SF company. Compensation - Great salary for the stage of the company with strong options.Cons: To be honest, I don't have much bad I can say about the company. We're growing very fast, so there are downsides that come with that, but overall the leadership does a great job handling the influx of new employees.
