“It was well organized, and the teams took turns so as not to be redundant. It is helpful to go with data-backed examples like AI did for easy reference. While it is not always obvious, you can look up facts like who is the market leader in grocery or what's the number of customers /DAO for an app. It's not necessary to memorize all these Google-able numbers. I was asked a question about TikTok. I explained how I don't use apps that drain my time and focus, and they gave me a different question. ”
“The process was highly structured and intellectually demanding, spanning five distinct rounds that tested engineering fundamentals, product design, strategy, and leadership. It felt more rigorous than many standard big-tech interviews because it required a deep dive into Okta’s specific ecosystem, particularly the Okta Integration Network (OIN) and its technical nuances.”
“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 standard, with a recruiter chat first, then scheduling round 1 with 2 PMs: 1 on product sense and the other on metrics. Product sense - the interviewer likes to know how you frame the problem, set goals, and how it ties with the overall company strategy. Make sure to be concise and walk users through problems to solutions before time is up.”
“The process was relatively straightforward. I don't think there were any questions there were misleading and everyone was nice and was professional.”
“The interview process moved very quickly overall, which I appreciated because it kept momentum high and reduced uncertainty between stages. Communication from the recruiting team was generally responsive, and scheduling was efficient despite the number of rounds involved.”
“The process was relatively straightforward. The hiring manager was very conversational and introduced himself. It felt like we were just having a chat. I was an internal hire so I might have had it easier than someone who would have interviewed from outside.”
“Pretty tough, long, and drawn out.”

“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.”
