“Nothing really stood out. Very disconnected process. Interviewers sound very positive hinting follow-ups. But recruiter had no visibility on the next steps. It's best to go through a referral or take Nvidia's process as a lottery draw. If you are lucky recruitment process would work out. Good luck! ”
“Overall, the interview process was quite well-structured, with clear stages and expectations. The interviewers were professional and the conversations were generally focused and relevant.”
“Overall, the interview process was well organized and structured. I appreciated the communication throughout the process and the opportunity to speak with different people from the team. The technical interviews were challenging but relevant and gave me a good understanding of the level expected at Google. One thing that could have gone better was the amount of time between some stages, as it made the process feel a bit longer than necessary. Overall, though, I had a positive experience and appreciated the professionalism and transparency of the interviewers. ”

“Good process, helpful HR. I couldnt finish stats, I prepped hard but stalled during interview. Be calm and cool. Practice more and get strong in stats and rv fundamentals”
“Overall, the interview process was well organized and professional. The interviewers were engaged, respectful of time, and provided opportunities to discuss both technical and behavioral experiences. I appreciated the focus on real-world problem solving and the chance to explain my thought process rather than just provide answers. What went well was my ability to communicate my experience with data engineering, data warehousing, ETL pipelines, and large-scale data processing. I was also able to provide detailed examples from past projects and relate them to the requirements of the role. One area that could have gone better was managing time during some of the technical discussions. In a few cases, I spent more time than necessary exploring alternative approaches before arriving at the final solution. Looking back, I could have structured my responses more concisely and clarified assumptions earlier. Overall, the process was a valuable experience that helped me better understand the role, the team’s expectations, and the areas where I can continue to improve”
“The final round of the interview was focused more on my thought process than on identifying the final answer. It focused on assessing the depth and breadth to which I could analyze a problem for a root cause.”

“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.”
