“My interview process started with a coding round focused on data structures and problem-solving, where I was able to understand the problem and write a working approach but struggled with optimizing the solution under time pressure. What went well was my ability to implement a correct baseline solution and explain my thought process, but I didn’t perform as well on edge cases and optimal complexity, which likely impacted the final outcome.”
“They give you a study guide. I'd recommend reading it. It's your classic data structure and algorithms interviews.”
“It was an extremely smooth process, though team matching was rough. Questions didn't need to be 100% right interestingly, as one of the rounds I didn't finish.”
“It was overall a smooth experience. Be prepared to wait for 2 weeks to schedule interviews due to lack of interviewers.”
“The interview was quite smooth. All of the interviewers asked their direct questions with no further small talk. ”
“The process was quick with all interview rounds initially scheduled in the same week. The technical interviews were adapted to real world code implementations and didn't directly relate to Leetcode style problems. The system design round was very open-ended with no definite question and highly ambiguous requirements.”

“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.”
