Ho presentato la mia candidatura tramite segnalazione di un dipendente. La procedura ha richiesto più di una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Reddit (San Francisco, CA) nel mese di ago 2018
Colloquio
Overall, I had a phenomenal interview experience at Reddit. From the beginning, I appreciated how much my recruiter, Sarah, was enthusiastic about Reddit -- her energy made me extremely excited about the prospect of joining the team. Amongst all the companies that I interviewed at, Reddit was by far the most organized -- my start-to-finish interview process only took 1.5 weeks -- and the most personable. During the onsite, I appreciated how each interviewer took the time to get to know me and to share what made them most excited about working at Reddit. I could tell right away that Reddit is a unique company that walks the walk when it comes to putting their users first -- it was clear that doing right by the user is part of the core Reddit DNA.
My onsite consisted of 5 interviews + lunch. All of the questions asked were thoughtful and relevant to the role -- questions ranged from standard PM interview questions about prioritizing features, to general Reddit questions ("What's your favorite subreddit?"). I'm a casual user of Reddit, and the team made me feel very comfortable that they welcome employees from all Reddit backgrounds -- ranging from power users to casual users like myself.
One aspect of the interview that stuck out to me was Reddit's value of diversity -- Reddit was the only company that I've interviewed at that truly felt like it's employees were representative of America. Several of the people who I spoke to hadn't come from the Silicon Valley bubble, and it was clear that Reddit values both people from diverse demographics as well as diversity of thought and opinion.
After I received my offer, multiple people who I had interviewed with reached out and offered to hop on the phone to answer all of my questions. Ultimately, I chose a different offer to work at a seed-stage startup, but it was the toughest career choice I've had to face thus far. I was blown away by Reddit, and would highly recommend applying.
Interview process:
-Initial phone screen with technical recruiter
-45 min phone call with hiring manager
-Take home project
-Half day onsite
Reddit was able to give me a decision in 3 days -- I really appreciated their speed!

The interview process took 11 weeks for me to hear an answer after initially being quoted 2-3 weeks. Deadlines were never met from the recruiter and I constantly had to push for updates, including being ghosted for 3 weeks after the final round.
Positives were the interviewers were pleasant and asked good questions and seemed nice to work with.
Overall, really unprofessional experience after making it through 6 interviews, but seems like decent people on the actual product and cross-functional teams.
Very professional and clear on expectations. First round was screening, and second round was hiring manager. During the screening call, the recruiter gave an overview of the position and of the company. They also asked high level questions about my experience in product. Hiring Manager went into detail about my experience in product, and was able to easily answer my questions about the job's day to day and project types that the role was responsible for.

Colloquio
Applied through an employee referral. Spoke with a recruiter who insisted they had a few roles that would sync up really well with my background.
Spoke with a hiring manager who structured their chat more as a getting to know you, with a few mild but pointed questions. Later recruiter said they didn't think it was a perfect fit but they had another role opening soon they wanted to interview me for. When that role opened, I reached out again and there was absolute silence in response.
Just be honest in your feedback; it was a really confusing, negative experience, and honestly now I'd never trust your hiring managers or recruiters. I'm a relatively senior product person and I can handle negative feedback, but silence and misleading feedback is very frustrating.
