What is the employee culture like it Reddit?

I’ve never gotten the impression that people working at Reddit better care all that much about the community. It’s just not something that ever came across from the site… rather, I’ve suspected just the opposite.

Statements by some admin’s make me wonder if they’ve EVER dealt with a community before … and their decisions based on personal relationships, rather than anything else.

Considering some of the bad hiring decisions they have made in the past, I'm guessing not that great.

I don’t know of many such situations but this one was odd:

I don’t really understand how they could make that hire or why they would have thought that person was a good choice…

I've known a couple of people who previously worked at Reddit and I can't imagine they'd quit over something like this. I think most employees don't feel any personal responsibility or sense of control for the situation and are happy to get paid a comfortable salary.
