Sent an application on their career website and received a response from the recruiter within a week.
Passed the phone screen and went onto the onsite. There were three rounds of technical interviews and two rounds with cross-functional and fit assessments.
Heard back within three days after the onsite that the feedback was positive. Very pleased with the offer and accepted right away.
The recruiter was very on top of it and kept me updated along the way. Feedback was prompt at every step. This interview process definitely stood out the most to me. I had a great time solving the interview questions with the team.

Very small and opportunities to stand out

Pros: - Really small so you have the opportunity to stand out.
- You'll get to know the founders.
- A lot of opportunity to really change how things are done.
- You work at Reddit! It's really humbling to be a part of something so historic.
- Flexible working hours.
- Unlimited vacation.
- Great perks. In addition to insurance + 401k, there's also a lot of budget to spend for wellness, education, dependents, pets, parking, dinners, transit, etc. It's an extensive list.
- Free catered breakfast + lunch (dinner can be expensed if you stay after 7PM).
- Unlimited reddit gold.
Cons: - It's growing a little fast; it's hard to keep up with the new people joining.
- The salaries are supposed to be at the 75th percentile, but it really doesn't seem to be the case (I'm an engineer).
- Understaffed across many of the teams.

Having a blast
Software Engineer • Current Employee
San Francisco, California, United States
September 7, 2017
Pros: The new codebase is very clean, and the architecture is incredibly well thought out. There are many very senior engineers doing some truly amazing work here. Iron sharpens iron, and I'm learning a ton from this very talented team.
With the new site redesign and the bump in hiring, this company will soon be taken very seriously as a Facebook contender. Buy into this place as early as possible.
Cons: Not a whole lot of room for junior engineers since the engineering team is still on the smaller side. Senior engineers are spread pretty thin as it is, and the latest round of new hires needs time to mature.
The management team isn't completely built out yet, and many managers are new to the role. That being said, the management team absolutely knows what they are doing and come from some of the best companies in the industry.
You need to be comfortable being independent here. It's a startup after all; no one is going to hold your hand.
