“It was a short process, not very technical, very mission driven. The recruiter screen was all the basic questions. The second round was the with the manager and more about previous experiences and applying them to the role. A lot of questions around data. The final round was more of a teammate vibe check and culture fit round. ”
“Process was quick, team was professional, and had a diverse set of interviews. Recommendation to split the loop into two days.”
“I had an initial interview with a recruiter and then progressed to the first technical stage, which I didn’t pass. It involved an OOP-based task where I had to design a system similar to VS Code that tracks when function are opened and closed”
“I was interviewing for the UberSTAR sophomore internship, so the technical interview was easier than the regular SWE internship. I secured the offer and a return offer to be a regular SWE intern the following summer.”
“It had 1 Phone screen with 2 leetcode style questions the loop had: 1 behavioral 2 leetcode style rounds 1 ml system design (with 1 more follow up)”
“No unique tricks to prepare for (at least from my experience). What went well was imagining myself in the role before going into the interview. I should've been a bit more professional compared to other companies I interviewed at.”
“One of the interviewers showed up 30 min late to a 45 min interview and we ended up finishing around the same time anyways. ”
“Interview was difficult, especially on the Beast team. It included IQ test, System design, coding a binary problem on blockchain, and behavioral, and going over a technical project i worked on. Each interview had to go really well or I wasn't gonna get the offer.”
“Overall, the interview process was well structured and professional. I appreciated that the interviewers were friendly, engaged, and created a comfortable atmosphere, which made the conversations feel natural rather than overly formal. The questions also gave me a good opportunity to discuss my experience, problem-solving approach, and motivation.”

“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.”
