“Communication was very smooth with the recruiting team. The online assessment was relatively easier. The technical interview was pretty conversational rather than case heavy.”
“Overall positive experience – people very friendly and sharp. Mostly behavioral interviews, with deep dive on prior work. There was 1+ week of silence after final round. Think it was because the recruiter got reassigned. ”
“A thorough, well-structured process: recruiter screen, hiring manager screen, a take-home case, a virtual onsite of four rounds (product sense, bar raiser/culture, technical execution, ML fundamentals), and a final conversation with a senior product leader. The interviewers were friendly, engaged and clearly hands-on practitioners. Each round probed a different angle, so you get to show range. The recruiting team was responsive and gave candid feedback mid-process, which I appreciated. What didn't go as well was logistics near the end. A late-stage round was cancelled at short notice and rerouted to a different interviewer, who treated it like an early screen, so I wasn't sure what was left. With interviewers across time zones, some slots also fell late in my evening. I didn't get an offer. Looking back, the gap was answer length and audience awareness in the senior rounds, not technical depth.”
“The question seems deceptively simple but its very hard to understand how to start and stay structured.”
“Got rejected for the jam session where the interviewers were senior leadership. The hiring manager round and the design collaboration round went fairly well. ”
“The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was accurate and helpful about what to prepare, which I really appreciated. A few things did catch me off guard: one round was more execution- and tradeoff-heavy than I expected, and the bar for structured, concise answers felt very high throughout. Overall, it was challenging but fair, and I came away with a positive impression of the process.”
“My interview process took a bit longer because a lot of sessions were rescheduled due to reorgs at Meta. Recruiter was helpful in providing guidance in between sessions”
“The process was long and hard, I prepared A LOT. The interviewers were mostly nice and positive. The recruiter was very helpful.”
“Smooth process with very nice people. Take home took some time but was fun to think about their product area. A lot of emphasis on AI fluency both in product and how you work”

“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.”
