Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Ireland

June 7, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The process started with a video call with the recruiter. He explained the process and what it's like to work at Reddit. This chat was informal and went well overall, so I was moved onto the more technical interviews.

The technical interview I had was fine and involved working on a CodeSignal challenge. This interview lasted one hour.

The real problem with the Reddit interview process lies with the recruitment team, specifically the recruiter I was dealing with, who was a Senior Technical Recruiter.

I heard nothing back after two weeks of waiting for feedback, whether good or bad. I reached out to the recruiter with no reply for a few days before he finally informed me that he was still waiting on feedback from the interviewer. I have heard nothing back from him since.

Lack of good communication from the recruitment team and an overall disinterest in their hiring efforts made for a pretty terrible experience overall, not one you would expect from a company like Reddit.

Questions

The code signal question was around building a small forum application in React.
