J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Reddit en févr. 2021
Entretien
Pretty standard process. First screening interview with very easy coding question.
Next stage is a full day interviews. A few architecture sessions, 1 quite intense coding session (the one where you asked to do a big thing in 50 minutes and you are like: look how quick I can write bad code but promise I know how to do it right, there is just no time!!). Anyway, it was fun, all engineers seemed very professional and I enjoyed talking with them.
Except for one interview, where interviewer yawned and looked at his phone from the very beginning of the session which put me completely off. He didn’t show much interest, questions very unclear. I had a feeling I didn’t pass it after the first 5 minutes. Also, the guy is a manager which correlates with the bad management reviews you can read here from employees. So I wasn’t really upset when I got a rejection (because of that session). Doesn’t seem like a great place to work anyway.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
There were questions about past experience, how you work with a team etc
Kinda strange disjointed interview process: Recruiter call, coding interview, manager call, system design interview, coding interview, system design interview.
Some challenges were relevant to Reddit, some where asinine leetcode style trivia. Some interviewers were chill to talk to, others seemed distracted and disinterested in being there. One wanted to brag to me about offers they had gotten from FAANG companies which was pretty weird.
A mixed bag — seemed kinda disorganized. Recruiter ghosted after loop.

Question 1
Leetcode tree DFS question, log parsing question, design a high throughput messaging system
Standard software engineering interview with some Leetcode, some practical. Everyone was very likable and fair. Technical screen, hiring manager interview, on-site round with 4 interviews (2 coding, 1 system design, 2 cross functional)

I applied directly on Reddit's careers portal. The recruiter reached out to me after the application and asked me a few questions about my experience that were relevant to that particular job.
After that, there was one General programming round that had questions very much similar to what Stripe is known for asking in their coding rounds.
After that General programming screening round, there was a call with the Hiring manager of the team. That went well and then I was invited for Onsite interviews that comprised of four rounds:
1. General Programming
2. Hiring manager round(With some other HM)
3. System Design round
4. Backend programming round
The interview process was very smooth and very well organized. I really liked that from Reddit. Unfortunately, I couldn't clear the bar.
