“Overall process was good. I had two interviews scheduled in parallel after the assessment. Interviewers were ex-googlers and helping me out where I stumbled. ”
“Everything was smooth. Interviewers were super friendly. They made me feel comfortable. I took my time to prepare which i highly recommend”
“The process was straightforward and behavioral. The team was looking for fit for the specific product and the team itself. The previous experiences were heavily emphasised and if they matched the current team's needs, that's what they wanted to verify.”
“The interview was structured around product sense and feature-design questions, with a strong emphasis on identifying the user problem, prioritizing a target audience, designing a solution, and thinking through metrics and tradeoffs. The conversation felt fairly interactive, and I had opportunities to explain my reasoning rather than just give a final answer. What went well was being able to structure ambiguous problems and connect solutions back to user needs. The harder part was balancing depth with time, especially when there were several possible directions worth exploring. ”
“The process was rigorous, I had 4 rounds, one with HM, one with the engineering manager and 2 with product managers. However, the format of all rounds followed the typical Amazon LP based format. In two of the interviews, I was also asked for mini case study like questions around how I would take decisions on launches and experimentation. ”
“The process was simple but slow, friendly environment, supportive panel. I got stuck during resume follow-ups ”
“Process was fairly straight forward. Response times can vary so don't stress if you don't hear back in time. ”
“Well, I think I didn't prepare much. I was not actively looking and didn't devote much space to prepping. However, if I had to turn back time, I would be really thorough with my star stories and expect the interviewer to get two levels deep. In hindsight, I would ask questions like, "How would you do it differently?" and "What are the learnings from this?" ”

“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.”
