The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Reddit (Diamond Bar, CA) in Aug 2019
Interview
Sent an application on their career website and received response from the recruiter in a week. Passed the phone screen and went onto onsite. There are three rounds of technical and two rounds with cross functional and fit. Heard back within three days after onsite that the feedback was positive. Very pleased with the offer and accepted right away.
Recruiter was very on top of it and keeps me updated along the way. Feedback is prompt at every step. This interview process definitely stood out the most to me. Had a great time solving the interview questions with the team.
Initial screening followed by a technical interview assessing problem-solving and role-specific skills. Final round focused on communication, cultural fit, and experience discussion. Process was smooth, structured, and professionally coordinated throughout.

Question 1
They asked me to explain a challenging project I worked on and how I approached solving the problem.
Challenging but fair, we went through some system design challenges and explored a few different technical problems and solutions. The interviewers were friendly and knowledgeable, and happy to answer questions in details after the interview.

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.
