“The process was well organized and the interviewers were collaborative. I did well when thinking aloud and adapting to new information. I could have managed time better during the unfamiliar-codebase round.”
“My case recruiter was unresponsive and they simply ignored me throughout the whole interview process and I still ghosted on the status.”
“The process was smooth, general interview skills, prepare well to discuss you solution before coding / jumping to the optimized solution”
“good, the process had been very through with a coding round as well.The coding was more on implemneting and solving ML problem”
“The process was weird. I thought the interview went well, the interviewer even told me to prepare my leetcode for the next round and then I got rejected. ”
“the process was good and short they proactively update me about the next round and i think it is good .”
“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 “design a runtime system” problem felt quite broad and somewhat vague at the beginning. It wasn’t immediately clear what level of detail or which aspects of the runtime system the interviewer wanted me to focus on. A little more context around the expected scope, constraints, or key requirements would have made the problem easier to approach and helped keep the discussion more focused. ”
“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.”

“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.”
