Have an offer from reddit but kinda on the lowside, coming in as IC3 w 4 yoe. Anyone have any thoughts on culture, company, etc? They also apparently do “no negotiations”, is this true? Any thoughts from current or previous employees would be great 😄 thanks!
SF or LA? 150 base for SF seems super lowball
Second tier city (not NY/SF)
r/wallstreetbets
Which org?
I know quite a few people that work there and all say it's the most mismanaged company they've ever worked for. IPO isn't happening any time soon, so if you care about that forget about it. If you really care about the product you will absolutely hate it there too. Everyone I know is miserable and interviewing.
Woah is this in SF? Any idea which teams?
Yeah, SF. Sounds the entire data half of the company is just in shambles (literally every director and most managers and now ics have left), but the problems that created it are systemic and go all the way up to the executive level and have been going on for years.
Options? How is the strike price now?
Yea $7.92 from last round
Reddit doesn't pay great. Working here is not about the money. The real draw is the environment is super friendly and accepting. The Anti Evil Engineering team are some of the best people to work with. If that sounds like a good trade off, then you will love it. If not, don't take the job.
I realize non product teams probably don't see it as much but holy shit reddit was the most toxic dump I've ever worked at. If you're anywhere near product or in the VP's line of fire prepare for a nightmare. Edit: reddit recruiters and hr are really active on blind too OP
@rust38 product was bad at Reddit? Bad ideas? Hard to get any say in?
This graph tells you all you need to know. Compare it to places everyone traditionally considers toxic like amazon and reddit is even worse. The funny thing is at smaller companies people feel even more afraid to leave bad reviews so it's likely the problem is even worse than it appears on Glassdoor. It's a case study in how terrible leadership can wreck a company.
