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.
Interview questions [1]
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 through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reddit in Feb 2022
Interview
Interview process is not compatible with neurodivergent candidates. One of the worst interview experiences in my 20+ year career. The interviewer was clearly occupied with something else and the lack of active listening was obvious. I was referred by an employee too.
