I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Reddit
Interview
The interviewer got on the call seemingly not knowing anything about me and then told me he can't offer me anything since they need immediate hire (not sure why he did not check my resume or portfolio which clearly said I was still in school for another semester- to save us both the time and energy). I spent hours preparing for this interview just for the interviewer to be rude to me thereafter. He was doing his work while talking to me and was clearly uninterested. He kept making snarky comments towards me. I would never work here no matter the offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Q: Tell me about yourself
Q: What questions do you have for me about the company/design team
Q: When can you start
1st phone screen was directly with the head of design. Mostly a casual chat and some lecture about design at Reddit.
2nd interview was a whiteboarding exercise. I think I was denied because my final solution did not agree with the economic and political views of the company. I suggested that public goods should be free.
Recruiter communication is below par at best. Lack of engagement and interest to candidates within the pipeline. I had to reach out a number of times to touch base. The scheduling was also miscommunicated and had a few surprise sessions that weren’t on the official interview schedule.
The interviews themselves were quite engaging. It was with a series of cross-functional partners probing into different collaboration and leadership capabilities.
I was asked to do an additional interview, but I’ve still yet to hear back from the main recruiter or hiring manager about any decision made.
