finally threw my hat in for a Reddit marketing role (growth/acquisition). i'm seeing some older posts but a lot of the thread data is from pre-IPO 2023 and i'm not sure how much has changed.
if anyone has gone through a Reddit loop in the last 6 months (any function, any level), can you drop what you remember? mostly curious about: number of rounds and who you talked to what surprised you how long the whole process took start to offer/reject
crowdsourcing because everything else i'm finding feels stale. appreciate anyone who shares.

went through PMM process in Q1. 5 rounds total: recruiter, hiring manager, a case presentation (i had a week to prep), two cross-functional stakeholders (one from product, one from sales/ads). they were really focused on how i think about community vs. advertiser tensions. not a soft question. timeline was 3.5 weeks which felt fast.

product role, 4 rounds, February. recruiter was communicative and gave feedback on my case which was rare and appreciated. the PM interview focused a lot on how i'd approach content policy tradeoffs from a product angle. they did not ask generic "design a product for X" questions at all.

the content policy / community tension angle keeps coming up. makes sense given what Reddit is. going to prep some stories specifically around that. thanks

applied through their veterans program in late fall. the process was the same as regular applicants, no accelerated track, but the recruiter was solid about explaining each step. ops analyst role. 4 rounds, got a rejection with a call back which honestly was more than i expected.
