- New grad design at FB, Google, or Reddit? Got offers from FB and Google, and Reddit is keen about me but unsure about career growth/support for new grad versus other two. Recent fb news has me a little worried too, outside looking in. Google seems like you just get thrown to the masses whereas FB has dedicated new grad program.

- Reddit Growth How is Reddit in terms of TC and career growth ? The reach of the community seems impressive with a lot of monthly active users. But, how is the engineering talent there ?
