“The bar is pretty high, but the process is very smooth. The coding and system design need to be completed fast.”
“Pretty easy, just very long. For technical just need to do leetcode, no system design. Interviewers help you if you are stuck. ”
“The coding problem was too long to be done within 1 hour. Should practice more and get fluent with basic language libraries and their APIs”
“First was a recruiter screen, which went in a lot more deeper into experience than normal. Be prepared to share why shopify, deep dive in project Second was tech screen, which was sql & python. interviewer helped a lot, and it was more conversational. i think it's important to clarify a ton before writing query”
“Process made sense and everyone was nice. I think I just chose bad examples to share that weren't relevant to the role.”
“Meta is still leetcode heavy and medium to hard questions should be expected. Since it's leetcode style interview you can predict the out come and also prepare easily. What didn't go well - For the second question couldn't walk-though the code with example due to time constraint. - I spent too much time explaining my approach for both problems. Overall keep your thoughts concise and finish the code first to quickly finish both questions.”
“The interview process went well. The recruiter was very responsive and supportive throughout the process. Had a recruiter screening call and an HM call. I am pretty sure that the HM did not like my profile, or there was no fit for the role.”
“Discussions about frontend fundamentals and my work experience went well. I was supposed to code the solution within 10 minutes after I had thought through the approach, but I took longer because I was supposed to solve the question in JS, while I primarily solve DSA questions in C++. ”
“What went well was that I was professional, and I’m pretty sure I communicated clearly. What didn’t go well was I wasn’t able to explain the impact.”

“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.”
