I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Reddit (San Francisco, CA) in Jul 2019
Interview
My first interview was a preliminary with the their recruiter to go over the resume and the job requirements. Then moved to a technical interview on coderpad with one of their engineers. Overall quick and positive process, respectful and well communicated.

Question 1
What are the differences between GET and POST methods?
Applied online, talked to a recruiter about their needs, and scheduled a technical phone screen. The technical phone screen was a hangout and a live coding session where the interviewer could see me and my typing at the same time.

Question 1
There was a question about CORS and cross site scripting. Questions about how to optimize a site with lots of DOM nodes. The live coding was about aggregating data that was in a hash. For example, each key in the has would be the string of a date, and the property of each day was the traffic for that day, separated out by platform (ios, android, etc). You're asked to count the total traffic based on properties of those days. The final part was a sliding window problem where you have to find the seven days that had the highest traffic. You get about 30 minutes for the coding part. I would say the interviewer was cordial but charmless, so go in looking to knock the coding part out of the park. More failed front end interviewees should talk about their experiences imo, so that we all know which companies ask general knowledge and which ask leetcode, and which does both (as in this case).
