“Till now it went well. Let me see feedback. All the rounds were very much aligned to leadership principles. Prepare answers in STAR format and try not to tell any details where you have not worked in depth. ”
“Very much around first principles, focusing on consulting style responses (considering BCG alumni in the panel)”
“There were 2 interviews with a break of 30 minutes between them. Both the interviews were 45 mins long. The first interview was fairly easy, spent the first 20 minutes on behavioral questions and the next 20 on an easy Leetcode question-> Best time to buy and sell stocks. The second interview was quite difficult, it was about parsing a month's API data and outputting the peak API hours for each day given an operation”
“Had good experience with both the recruiter and the hiring manager, but I was not prepared enough for this interview. ”
“Interviewers put you under pressure. You have to quickly read provided code and try to make changes under some restrictions (only allowed to change certain components).”
“The interview process was good. The recruiter was very helpful. Mainly i focused on the design and debugging round. In debugging round there were test cases and a small piece of code. I had to debug the testcases which were failing”
“the technical round was that difficult but the behavioral round would need more focus on, especially the star methods”
“My biggest issue was the machine learning round that I wasn't aware. I was told we would have a CodeSignal interview but it turned out to be a Google Collab interview. Had I known I was going to do some data analysis I would've brushed up on these skills.”
“Fairly straightforward process. Why did you leave your last job? Are you interested in this role? That kind of thing. Just double-checking fit. ”

“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.”
