I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Reddit
Interview
The interview process was disorganized and marked by significant delays in communication. Initial scheduling took over a week despite a prompt response. The first call started more than 15 minutes late, and follow-up information promised during that call was only provided after several reminders over multiple days. When the technical screen was finally scheduled, no relevant details or preparation guidance were shared in advance. The overall experience reflected poorly on the coordination and professionalism of the recruitment process.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
