      Software Engineer Interview

      3 Feb 2021
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Reddit (New York, NY)

      Interview

      Initial recruiter call - Standard call, learned about the specific team I was applying for and talked about myself a little bit. Technical phone screen - About half of this was high level questions about web development and then the other half was a fair question, I would rate as a leetcode medium. I did not nail this question, so being sure to explain your thought process and show your communication skills is super important as well! Virtual Onsite This was split up into 5 sections, first up was a system design question. This was very fair, not a question you find in the standard prep work but you'll have an opportunity to show your skills when it comes to adjusting for requirements and scaling. Next up was a coding challenge, this was not a leetcode style algo question, but a little more practical. Again this was not a round I nailed, so I want to stress again how important it is to communicate with your interviewers. Next was a behavioral with an engineering manager, standard stuff about my background. Make sure you come prepared with good questions, this is your opportunity to figure some stuff out about Reddit! Next was a shorter behavioral style interview with a PM, very nice chat! Finally we had one more coding challenge, this was another very fair question on the scale of a leetcode medium. Overall this was one of the best experiences I've ever had interviewing. Everybody was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, and I was super excited to receive an offer! Shout out to my recruiter Andre, he as the best recruiter I've ever worked with in terms of preparing me for the interview and sharing feedback as it came in!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      NDA, but you will be well prepared for questions to expect from your recruiter. Nothing was above what I would classify as a leetcode medium on the technical side.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Reddit in Nov 2025

      Interview

      The process started with a recruiter screen followed by a technical phone interview focused on coding and problem solving. After that, there were two rounds of technical interviews with senior engineers — one centered on system design and another on algorithms and data structures. The final round was a behavioral interview about teamwork, communication, and past project experience. Overall the process was structured and professional, though somewhat slow to schedule.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      They asked me to design a rate limiter that supports multiple APIs and handles different request quotas per user efficiently.
