“It was more or less what I expected. ”
“I was first contacted by the recruiter for a buisness DS position and had a quick screen. They walked me through the several rounds and what is covered in each. Later on they even helped me go through feedback for each round. Had a total of about 5-6 rounds. The rounds were mostly case study and statistics oriented. Had very little ML depth questions. ”
“It was really interesting to me since Microsoft PM interviews are known to test heavily (sometimes only) on behavioural as opposed to PM frameworks. However, my experience was mostly PM frameworks with an AI twist on them, which tripped me up a little bit. ”
“The process was relatively straightforward. I don't think there were any questions there were misleading and everyone was nice and was professional.”
“It was amazing. Had lovely conversations and it was amazing. I got nervous towards the end and the panel understood hence was not rejected at last round”
“The main technical and System design Interview was with the panel. It was a very long interview that took about 2 hours. All of the interviewers seemed very satisfied with my explanations and reasoning. I kept on engaging them during the session, my system design explanations were also very accurate, and pinpointed. I had another session, also about an hour long; he mostly focused on my previous projects and my overall experience in the market. During my second interview, that single interviewer (who was absent in the first one) kept on rehearsing that they needed someone with hands-on experience on Azure, which was very confusing for me, and maybe in the end, that became the reason for my being rejected.”
“The round was with the hiring manager, she asked me alot of questions on churn, profit and lifetime value, which was the focus of the team. Others were basic ML questions like bias variance tradeoff, and project deepdive.”
“It was overall good experience. Except you have 4 rounds continuously. What went well? Asking them solid questions and being able to come up with a working solution. What didn’t go well? Not preparing enough for system design as a DevOps Engineer.”
“The interview process was straightforward not focused on any particular tech stack mostly DSA and projects.”

“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.”
