Reddit is an American proprietary social news aggregation and forum social media platform. Registered users submit content to the site such as links, text posts, images, and videos, which are then voted up or down by other members. Posts are organized by subject into user-created boards called "subreddits". Submissions with more upvotes appear towards the top of their subreddit and, if they receive enough upvotes, ultimately on the site's front page. Reddit administrators moderate the communities. Moderation is also conducted by subreddit-specific moderators, who are unpaid volunteers. It is operated by Reddit, Inc., based in San Francisco.

Ad-free + r/lounge + 700 coins/month. Coins are useless. Ad-free is the only real value.
Working at Reddit feels closer to a 500-person company than the user-numbers would suggest. Direct lines to leadership exist.
Some teams still ship the way we did pre-IPO. Others are more press-aware now. Manager-dependent.
Building tooling that thousands of volunteer moderators rely on is a different kind of engineering problem. Customer empathy required.
Survived the IPO without the typical bloat or culture shock. Equity refresh post-IPO was generous.
The product reaches hundreds of millions but the engineering team is in the low thousands. Means ICs touch high-impact systems quickly.
