“The recruiter did not explain very well about the second round. It turned out to be an AI assisted round that included solving for system architecture, implementation scope, staffing and project planning etc ”
“The interview was "Python Coding" so I prepared for Data Structures and Algorithms but I wasn't expecting this question. ”
“Its moderate if you have prepared enough. Be ready with introduction and experience on your projects you have worked on process improvement and team management”
“Screening and the system design with director are virtual, while on-site loop in the office. The process is well organized and the recruiter provided great instructions on how to find the office. Office loop was completely on whiteboard, while the last interview was on zoom from the same meeting room.”
“The process was pretty clear and straitforward. As long as coding skill is well prepared. You should be fine.”
“I got the recruiter screen round call scheduled within a few days of applying for the role. The recruiter was professional and explained the role, compensation & benefits details and that the role is hybrid. They seemed to be pleased with all of my answers however I only got a rejection email a day later without any feedback.”
“Very rigorous. Interviewers were in a rush. I believe it’s crucial to get a feel of what you should expect during the interview and what kinds of signals you need to give. So I strongly recommend scheduling mock interviews with peers or, much more preferably, actual google or Facebook employees. ”
“The recruiter round was for 30mins. Recruiter explained about the role and asked questions regarding my background”
“My interview process included a recruiter screen, technical coding interviews, and a final behavioral and problem-solving round. What went well was that the interviewers were clear, collaborative, and gave me opportunities to explain my thinking. I also felt strong when discussing tradeoffs and working through ambiguous problems. What did not go as well was my time management on one coding question—I spent too long refining my first approach instead of moving quickly to a working solution. Overall, the process was challenging but positive, and it helped me identify areas to improve.”

“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.”
