I interviewed at Reddit a few years ago and found the arrogance and smugness to be off putting. I went from wanting to work for Reddit to thinking I dodged a bullet. The culture I was exposed to made me think they are all douches. They definitely thought they were changing the world and the arbiters of democracy. In my experience that sort of thinking comes from the top.
Honestly I think it could have gone much worse. CEO of tech company being a douche has got be one of the top 3 requirements for the job.
