“It was really fun because they asked stuff that I knew but it was very factual, like actual problem-solving.”
“It was two back to back phone interview. In the first interview, it was debugging the problems in sharded matmul with communications, and make sure the training loss converges. For the second interview, it was implementing a memory allocator in OS. You need to define the data structures and everything by yourself. ”
“The process was pretty straightforward, no AI assisted programming, just needed basic fundamentals for the coding portion had have some STAR stories for the behavioral portion.”
“The process was pretty straight forward. The recruiter gave good guidance and gave a list of concepts to prep from. Pretty generic. ”
“The process was pretty straight forward just know how to do leetcode very well. I messed up the intervals question in which i was to merge intervals but build a new list on it which i could not really comprehend ”
“The interview process was very simple. Unlike other software companies there were little technical deep-dives. There were no coding rounds, however there were 2 system designs, 1 behavioral and 1 cross-functional round. Questions were nothing out of the ordinary. Interviews went very well that I landed an offer.”
“The process was technically almost trivial. They focused a lot on your communication, and how you would work with clients less on pure technical skills. The 3 rounds were all pretty easy, outside of the initial conversation they all took 2+ hours each.”
“The interview started with a resume discussion and a system design round. There wasn't enough time left to fully code the LeetCode problem and dry-run the test cases. The interviewer didn't even switch on their camera, and it felt like they weren't very interested in conducting the interview.”
“The interview began with a brief self-introduction, followed by two questions: Most challenging project. What do you want to work on at Meta? The discussion lasted exactly 15 minutes. The interviewer did not interrupt at any point. Notification of passing the initial interview was received after an hour. ”

“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.”
