“There were 2 rounds. 1 30 min interview and one the final interview with 4 different people. They were all very friendly”
“It was good! It was straight forward. Interviewers were very nice and the final round was 3 interviews”
“It was very straightforward and wasn’t too bad, although it depends on the interviewer. For the intern roles, they aren’t expecting as much from the candidate and want to hear your thinking out loud. ”
“The overall interview process was well-structured and organized. The interviewers were professional, friendly, and gave me sufficient time to think through problems and discuss my approach. I appreciated that the rounds covered a good mix of coding, design, and behavioral topics, allowing me to demonstrate both technical depth and problem-solving skills. What went well was the technical discussion around system design and real-world engineering challenges. The interviewers encouraged clarifying questions and were interested in understanding my thought process, trade-off analysis, and experience operating large-scale systems. The coding problems were relevant and allowed for meaningful follow-up discussions around optimization and scalability. One area that could have gone better was time management during some of the coding rounds. While I arrived at correct solutions, I spent more time than expected discussing edge cases and alternative approaches, which left less time for implementation refinements and testing. In hindsight, I could have balanced exploration and execution more effectively. Overall, it was a positive experience. The process felt fair, technically challenging, and reflective of the engineering problems one would encounter in the role. I also enjoyed interacting with the interviewers and learning more about the team's work and technical challenges.”
“My onsite interview went very well was able to solve all 4 rounds questions. Communication was the key. Finally two teams were interested to hire me”
“It went pretty well. It was entry level. I think i should have asked more clarifying questions throughout”
“Everything went well and my second interview of my final round was just a conversation. First interview was more technical just to see if I could talk about and execute technical concepts.”
“Process was fairly straight forward. Response times can vary so don't stress if you don't hear back in time. ”

“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.”
“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.”
