Pros: Remote work. Decent compensation. Total compensation is comparable to average and probably median market levels. High bar for hiring. People there are incredibly smart and talented.

Cons: Hypocrisy at its worst. “We care about employees”, but here we cut their benefits, lay some off, and drive the rest crazy with loads of meaningless work. “We care about users”, but here we kill 3rd party apps, make existing features unusable, and just ignore all issues. No need to appease anyone after IPO, right? No one seems to know where they are going. Many teams come up with projects that have no connection to the real issues users experience or the things users actually need. The leadership has no strategic vision and hopes to sit tight and cash out. They are completely disconnected from Reddit users and employees. The company just burns its own money doing meaningless work. If you want to grow, avoid this company like the plague. Developer productivity is non-existent there. The amount of noise is unbearable; there are hundreds of Slack channels you'll be tagged in daily. Tech debt is mounting slowly but surely and eventually becomes just another project in itself (but only if you can prove its business value!). Priorities change every quarter, and existing issues are continually ignored and pushed back. The company overuses A/B testing, essentially using it to see which of hundreds of projects will slightly move some metrics, regardless of actual demand or long-term user value.

Pros: Great culture, benefits, and work-life balance.

Cons: Sometimes there is bureaucracy that I disliked.

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.
