Colloquio
I was contacted by the recruiter over email and she scheduled an initial video tech screening interview. I was given 2 problems and I solved both fairly quickly with about 10 minutes left in the interview. The interviewer verified that my solutions were correct and there was no further performance improvement possible. I answered all their questions and they seemed satisfied with the answers. Two days later I received a generic rejection email saying that they have "unfortunately decided not to move forward at this time" because "there's a mismatch between our needs and what you are looking for in your next career". Why waste my time if there was a mismatch to begin with? Wasn't this mismatch obvious in the initial conversation? I'm still wondering what did the interviewer derive from the interview that made them conclude that there is a mismatch I replied to the recruiter asking her to mention specifically what exact needs were not matched, but she hasn't replied and being in the software industry for a while, I don't expect to hear back either. Stop being frivolous with candidates' time. Our time is important too.
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.

Colloquio
I applied directly on Reddit's careers portal. The recruiter reached out to me after the application and asked me a few questions about my experience that were relevant to that particular job.
After that, there was one General programming round that had questions very much similar to what Stripe is known for asking in their coding rounds.
After that General programming screening round, there was a call with the Hiring manager of the team. That went well and then I was invited for Onsite interviews that comprised of four rounds:
1. General Programming
2. Hiring manager round(With some other HM)
3. System Design round
4. Backend programming round
The interview process was very smooth and very well organized. I really liked that from Reddit. Unfortunately, I couldn't clear the bar.
