“My process started with a talent screen with the recruiter and quickly moved to a hiring manager interview. They then scheduled me for a full loop on a tight timeline as I was far along with another offer. I had 4 interviews in the full loop and after those 4 rounds I was notified by the recruiter that I'd passed and was going for review with a hiring committee, a week later I was told I was going to get the offer. ”
“Process was smooth but recruiter was very slow. Loop was only kept after 3 weeks of coding screening. Overall interview was centred around past project and spark optimisation”
“Went well, the interview process was pretty easy. If you do your research and study up you should have no problem”
“Pretty standard big tech intern interviews. One technical was on the medium/hard side. Interviewer seemed rather uninterested and just wanted to solution rather than any collaboration. The second was a more straight forward and easy problem with an interviewer that was more engaged and collaborative. ”
“Practice leetcode fundamentals (graph, tree), practice system design fundamentals, speaking/thinking out loud, being able to explain full flow of what happens from when user/request is received to processed to returned (ensure components are disconnected/missing a flow path)”
“The process was smooth , straight to the point . The interview environment also smooth easy and everything was to the point”
“1 Phone Leetcode Onsite loop 1 LC, 1 SD, 1HR + 1 EM ( 30m each) Process seemed quite standard, the leetcode were all from top 50 tagged.”
“The process went well, and the interviews did not seem to be very difficult. The process began with a tech screen on MS Teams (video call with the recruiter). Tech Screen was a 45 minute interview that included SQL and Python questions. AB Testing and Stats interview involved requiring knowledge about 2-sided marketplaces. For Stats, basics were also questions - what is alpha? what are type 1 and type 2 errors? Last round was conducted by the HM, mostly related to behavioral questions. ”
“The process moved pretty fast, the onsite while intense interviewers were great and ready to help out.”

“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.”
