“My interview process included a recruiter screen, technical coding interviews, and a final behavioral and problem-solving round. What went well was that the interviewers were clear, collaborative, and gave me opportunities to explain my thinking. I also felt strong when discussing tradeoffs and working through ambiguous problems. What did not go as well was my time management on one coding question—I spent too long refining my first approach instead of moving quickly to a working solution. Overall, the process was challenging but positive, and it helped me identify areas to improve.”
“It's tougher and more in-depth on the technical aspect. Expect complex examples.”
“Good prompts from the interviewer, they want to move through metrics quickly so they can get to second prompt around tradeoffs ”
“The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was actually accurate and helpful on what to prepare. A few things caught me off guard: one round had the level of details and requirements for scalability.”
“Discussion on previous work experience was fine. Case study was heavily anchored in metrics as per the shared example”
“There were a lot of probing questions that followed after each question. One good thing was that the hiring manager was pasting each question she asked on the chat, so that I could follow through.”
“They called me for a 15 min call and ask me about my latest projects and how I was dealing with them”
“After a live coding round, I had a "Data Analysis" interview: 5 case studies built around one product scenario — an in-app ads widget for partner offers. Cases covered probability (joint + conditional/Bayes), funnel and metrics design with limited tracking, dashboard design, and A/B testing including quasi-experiment alternatives. It felt more like a structured conversation than an exam: we ran over time on some cases and the interviewer was fine with it, asked guiding questions when I got stuck, and cared more about reasoning than polished delivery. What didn't go well: explaining specific concepts precisely under time pressure was harder than expected, especially as a non-native speaker — but the interviewer worked with that rather than against it. ”
“Interview so far is focused mainly on behavioral questions and theoretical scenarios. Didn't ask much about Product sense/how to improve the existing product.”

“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.”
