LinkedInSenior Software Engineer, Apps · L5“The weirdest part for me was the AI coding round. They gave me a buggy maze class in HackerRank, made me use the built-in assistant, and then spent the back half probing why I trusted one AI-generated approach over the others.”
LinkedInSenior Associate, Strategic Finance · L4“The case discussions were more about me leading the entire discussion. They were more or less like a fly on the wall, monitoring how I would behave in that situation.”
LinkedInMachine Learning Engineer · L5“The coding round was the most tricky one, you don't know what problem you will get for the leetcode round. ML fundamentals, ML design is easy if you prepare for regular ML system designs. AI coding, do not use the cutting edge models, it takes forever to run. Make sure to downgrade your model, so it answers fast. Behavioral is pretty standard.”

AnthropicSoftware Engineer, Safeguards · L5“The weirdest Anthropic round was the company values interview. It was almost like a therapy session, and honestly if you went to a therapist at some point, you will pass that round much more easily.”
NetflixEngineering Manager, Tooling“What was very unusual is they didn’t give me any tooling to draw the system design, so I just sketched it on a piece of paper and talked them through it, then we got into this oddly deep debate about whether hover-over history should count as a recommendation signal.”
