“The process was very smotth and the interviewer manager was very kind and helpful. The role was on Natural Language processing and IBM Watson Analytics. So the interviewer would like to know more about the native language knowledge of the candidates.”
“The overall interview process with Meta was structured and fairly fast-paced. The interviews focused on technical problem-solving, system design, and behavioral questions, with an emphasis on explaining my thought process clearly while working through problems. What went well was the communication throughout the process and the consistency of the interview format. The interviewers were professional, and I felt I was able to clearly explain my reasoning and experience. The biggest challenge was the pace of the technical rounds. There was limited time to work through multiple problems, so there was not much room to recover if you spent too long on one approach. Overall, it was a challenging but well-organized interview process.”
“Overall super well. First OA (LeetCode medium DP problem). Then recruiter called me. Then HM called me. Then 2 coding interviews (LeetCode Easy.)”
“It mostly went well. I was thrown off by the fact that a lot of the focus in the system design rounds was on the product and UX side, only to discover it was product architecture later and that there had been a miscommunication.”
“The process was smoooth and easy.Phone round followed by a technical interview.I got the offer but i didnt accept it”
“Coding focussed with focus on leetcode style problems. The design prompts are simple and abstract like design netflix or design instagram, etc. It is upto you to drive design discussion and this round decides leveling”
“The process was very easy, but I was referred so that probably influenced the interview. I had a quick online call, later a technical call which checked my system design and that's all.”
“It was very rigorous and I feel like they really emphasize on writing bug free code. I feel like I failed by sounding like too much of a start up person during my behaviorals and they were afraid of me leaving.”
“Pretty standard interview with varying levels of interviewer friendliness. Some were pretty good some were a bit rude.”

“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.”
