“The process was pretty straightforward. However, the technical round was a frontend system design instead of a live coding round, which I was promised. I was caught off guard, but it worked out. For the finals, there were total of 5 rounds, 2 cultural and 3 technical. Two coding rounds among the technical rounds and an opinionated round where you discuss your opinions on different parts of engineering decisions, such as styling, state management, and so on.”
“Went well, the interview process was pretty easy. If you do your research and study up you should have no problem”
“Pretty standard big tech intern interviews. One technical was on the medium/hard side. Interviewer seemed rather uninterested and just wanted to solution rather than any collaboration. The second was a more straight forward and easy problem with an interviewer that was more engaged and collaborative. ”
“Practice leetcode fundamentals (graph, tree), practice system design fundamentals, speaking/thinking out loud, being able to explain full flow of what happens from when user/request is received to processed to returned (ensure components are disconnected/missing a flow path)”
“1 Phone Leetcode Onsite loop 1 LC, 1 SD, 1HR + 1 EM ( 30m each) Process seemed quite standard, the leetcode were all from top 50 tagged.”
“The process moved pretty fast, the onsite while intense interviewers were great and ready to help out.”
“Fairly standard recruiter screen -> initial 1hr coding interview (for new grad position). The interviewer hinted that there would be a follow up part of the question, but I didn't have time to get to that part.”
“It went pretty well. The interviewers were very nice, so it was easy to talk through my behavioral stories without putting on a super professional act. Coding challenges were mostly medium leetcode questions.”
“Interviews were surprisingly easy and seemed more vibes based. Nothing was ridiculously difficult or unfair. It was more of a "does this kid seem smart and genuine"”

“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.”
