Some have hypothesized that Reddit was trying to increase their diversity numbers but it seems more likely that she's friends with someone or has a group of friends at Reddit and that's how she made it though whatever hiring process they have. Reddit doesn't strike me as the type of place that's very rigorous when it comes to process so knowing the right people might have been enough. Of course this is all conjecture.

I mean this purely from a corporate risk-avoidance perspective. But, I guess reddit might not adhere to this approach.
- dekhn 6y agoIndeed, confirmed. reddit did not background check this person when hiring them.
