In an interview process with Reddit! Any Info will be helpful!
Check out r/whatsitliketoworkatreddit
From an oustiders perspective it looks like a series of shitposts
Previous comments seem to be about the recent CEO drama. I know the vp eng and CTO over there, awesome people with good track records
As other posts here have alluded to, the CEO made a mistake, yes. He has admitted such and dealt with it maturely. I think we're a really good place to work and I'm pretty confident the vast majority of current employees would agree. Reddit is consistently underestimated both for its potential as a company / product as well as the quality of the work environment.
@SFOa36 thanks.
Few months in now and loving it! Pay and benefits are actually quite impressive especially for a company with less than 150 employees, not to mention the leverage of being in such a small team serving hundreds of millions of users (currently 7th most trafficked site in US)... tons of low hanging fruit and some amazing early traction on revolutionary (I don't use that word lightly) work revamping the product. CTO was the founding engineer at Pinterest and there are a number of other entrepreneurial minded hires with great track records who joined over the past year not to mention Sam Altman on the board.
Any insight on any of the "revolutionary work" being done? Or when it'll be released?
Desktop redesign among other things. More details in r/announcements
Been with the team for over a year: great people, challenging work, low egos, insane benefits (childcare stipend, 401k matching, travel stipend, wellness, etc), beautiful new office, users for days, and - best of all - totally underestimated. Team is still small, huge equity upside, and leadership is earnest and accessible. But mostly, it's the people...
Been here a few months and it's the best job I've ever had.
Coming up on two years and amazed at the integrity and care they are taking to build a healthy culture. We actually have happy woman engineers. It's an oasis.
Reddit CTO is a child who edits users' posts. But on positive side there is no harassment scandal. Uber set the ceiling quite low.
Reddit CTO is a human who cracked after being bombarded by mentions calling him a pedophile and did something stupid in one place, at one time. It was wrong, he's admitted that, and he's got an otherwise clean record. Reddit has every right to remove t_d and has never done so under his leadership. That should earn him some integrity points, but, as t_d is so fond of saying, it doesn't fit the narrative.
