J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Reddit en juin 2020
Entretien
It was one of the least organized process I have ever take part. A recruiter found me on Github because of my Python contributions and she scheduled an interview with an engineer, she told me the interview would be on backed concepts in Python (no leetcode questions or this kind of things), I haven't received anymore information to prepare to the interview.
But when the interview started, the interviewer wanted to cover a lot of computer science fundamentals I've never saw in an industry interview before (such as Operating Systems - and the team had to do nothing with OS but with web development, and math), if I previously knew the topics of the interview I would have studied them beforehand, but I had no clue (and the team didn't work with Python, but with go by the way). No questions on things that I believe that were more useful for a software development team (such as software architecture or databases) or "general industry" questions (such as Leetcode). I thought it was a terrible experience.
Questions d'entretien [2]
Question 1
What is the difference between a mutex and a semaphore?
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)
J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 3 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Reddit (Dublin, Dublin) en août 2024
Entretien
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.
