San Francisco, CAPosted Nov 2023 · Candidate report, summarized by Dataford

My first screen was directly with the head of design.

It was casual in tone, but it also had a bit of a lecture quality to it about design at Reddit. The second step was a whiteboarding exercise, and that’s where things felt like they tightened up.

I ended up with a final solution that didn’t seem to align with the company’s economic and political views. I’d suggested that public goods should be free, and after that mismatch it felt like I wasn’t going to move forward. I left with the clear sense that the decision wasn’t only about the mechanics of the design work—it was also about whether my framing matched their perspective.
