Smaller scale than expected, in a good way
Working at Reddit feels closer to a 500-person company than the user-numbers would suggest. Direct lines to leadership exist.

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.

Open-source culture didn't survive IPO completely
Some teams still ship the way we did pre-IPO. Others are more press-aware now. Manager-dependent.

Mod relations are interesting work
Building tooling that thousands of volunteer moderators rely on is a different kind of engineering problem. Customer empathy required.

IPO transition went smoother than expected
Survived the IPO without the typical bloat or culture shock. Equity refresh post-IPO was generous.

Smaller eng org than people realize
The product reaches hundreds of millions but the engineering team is in the low thousands. Means ICs touch high-impact systems quickly.
