“I noticed Matty Roy’s name because he was the xAI guy who tweeted that if Grok couldn’t generate erotica, you could just post it on Twitter, and then I interviewed with him like a week later, which was pretty interesting.”
“Cosmos was clearly one of Nvidia’s most strategic bets because Jensen has two children and both were tied to it, and his daughter was actually my final interviewer. She was so laid-back and casual that I almost forgot how critical that round really was.”
“The engineering round turned into a straight up 45 minute system design jam on gift card redemption, and when he asked about Kafka I was like, "I know more about Kafka the author than the tech."”
“By the product case round, I had more of an idea that they aren't very clear themselves and they want the person to clarify for them the role, the scope. They wanted someone very, very deep in growth and very, very deep in product.”
“One senior director did a surprise case study, and halfway through I realized, oh, you’re basically asking for one of your recent product releases. It felt mildly unfair because I didn’t have the same information they did.”
“What surprised me most was Capital One basically tells you how to pass. They gave me a prep guide, practice problems, YouTube videos, and the question bank was almost one to one with the actual interviews, even though the cases felt way more business analyst than product.”
“It was good experience overall Went well Recruiter really put efforts in prepping me for HM Didn’t go well HM round was not clear enough There were no direct LP questions asked so they gave another Screening round”

“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.”
