J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 2 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Reddit en août 2025
Entretien
The process raised several concerns. The job posting mentioned that interviews would be recorded and transcribed by AI, but when I asked about data privacy, the answers were unclear and at times contradictory.
There was also a scheduling error on the company’s side. I joined at the correct time, but their internal calendar was wrong. Initially, the responsibility was placed on me, which came across as dismissive until I provided proof.
During the interview, the conversation felt unfocused. Key questions about the role received vague or inconsistent responses, which gave the impression the position was not clearly defined. I was told my application would be forwarded to another role, but this did not happen.
Post-interview communication was minimal. A thank-you note and follow-up email were not acknowledged, and instead I received a generic auto-rejection that included typos. This contradicted earlier assurances about communication and left a negative impression.
Overall, the process felt disorganized and lacked transparency. Candidates may want to be aware of potential issues with communication, scheduling, and clarity about the role.

Question 1
No specific, role-relevant questions except salary range.
It was a long process consisting of four interviews with the management of Reddit Italy that ended by them just telling me that they chose another candidate by email. Not a great process.

How would you build a plan to create a stronger community of Reddit in italy?
J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 3 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Reddit en juil. 2025
Entretien
Stop and start with unresponsive and unhelpful recruiter. If I was told I'd hear about next steps within a week then I wouldn't hear back for 3 weeks. If I checked in to respectfully ask for an update there was usually no response at all. The position ended up being pulled and they "paused" hiring though I don't expect it to pick back up. It may be due to a re-org, or maybe not - who knows, but I didn't find out for weeks and only after reaching out to ask about an update. This was among the least respectful interview experiences I've had in my career - the power dynamic is firmly on the side of the Reddit recruiter. The few times they sent emails they were informal to the point of being unprofessional - unformatted, riddled with typos and grammatical errors - like they were sent in a rush as though it was a text message to a bestie. In a way that would be fine, but if I had done the same thing it would have been grounds for cutting me from the candidate pool. Reciprocal respect in communication would be nice even though the current labor market means they technically don't have to treat their candidates well. This reflects poorly on their org.
If you engage with them, go in expecting the absolute bare minimum in terms of how you're treated throughout the process. Hopefully you'll be surprised to the upside, but I know one other person who had the same experience for a different position, so best of luck.
Short version: pretty gross for an org that pays a lot of lip service to building community.
