Process

I currently drive for Lyft while I am looking for a full-time job. In one of my rides, I had a customer who is a Senior Software Engineer at Reddit.

I asked him if they were hiring for a junior-level software engineering role, and he said they were. We exchanged information, and I emailed him my resume.

Few days later, I was contacted by a Reddit recruiter. Following our conversation, he scheduled me for a technical phone interview with one of their Software Engineers.

During the phone interview, I couldn't finish the problem. I missed the most important part of it. He said I could continue working on it during the weekend and email him when I was done. I did and emailed it to him.

It was not a surprise to me, though, when they decided not to move forward since I didn't finish it during the interview.

I have interviewed with many other companies in the past, but my experience with Reddit, from the beginning to the end, is the most positive one I have ever had. Everyone was very nice and friendly throughout the process, and they truly deserve 10 stars. I will definitely try with them again.
