“There were a lot of probing questions that followed after each question. One good thing was that the hiring manager was pasting each question she asked on the chat, so that I could follow through.”
“The role is a TPM under Alexa, but seems really like a project manager role- review privacy features. HM round was very basic, one PM loop asked a product design question, however the interviewer always cutting off the answer after 2-3 sentences; the most strange part was the tech lead round- a pure system design question which didn't mentioned in prep call at all. Wend very deep around 45 mins.”
“Easy enough. They go narrow and deep on the homework assignments. Answer the questions as is. Do not question the question. ”
“By far the most technically challenging interview process I've ever had to do for new grad product management roles. Successive coding questions in a constrained time block.”
“Communication was very smooth with the recruiting team. The online assessment was relatively easier. The technical interview was pretty conversational rather than case heavy.”
“Overall positive experience – people very friendly and sharp. Mostly behavioral interviews, with deep dive on prior work. There was 1+ week of silence after final round. Think it was because the recruiter got reassigned. ”
“The process was rigorous. The recruiter wasn't much help or accurate. Although the scheduling was very easy. ”
“The recruiter was quite helpful and shared details on the structure of the loops and how to prepare for it. The rounds in the loops were almost entirely behavioural focused on "Tell me about a time when" type of questions. There was probing for details as you walk through examples. Time was kept strictly in the discussions and you had to ensure you're able to control the cadence of the conversation.”
“The team was very professional. The HR was very collaborative and responsive. The interviewers were professional, they made you feel comfortable. The questions were mostly from the resume and nothing on product sense or RCA etc. The first 2 rounds are elimination rounds, the next 3 rounds parallel rounds which meant that you need to clear 2 out of 3 rounds. ”

“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.”
