“the interview process was very rigorous i did not know most of the things they asked , but i was confident in what i know , also they asked practices which are used in day to day industry not just basic coding ”
“The process was structured, thoughtful, and generally well run. The interviews felt focused on practical judgment, problem-solving, communication, and how I approach ambiguous technical and product situations. I appreciated that the conversations were substantive rather than purely checklist-based. What went well was that I felt able to draw on real examples from my past work, especially around leading technical projects, working with customers, and making tradeoffs under uncertainty. The interviewers were engaged and asked good follow-ups, which made the discussions feel collaborative. What was harder was that some parts required being very concise while still giving enough technical depth. In a few moments, I probably could have structured my answers more clearly upfront before going into details.”
“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.”
“It went really well, they were trying to confirm whether I actually solved the assessment on my own and understood my solution.”
“Nothing really stood out. Very disconnected process. Interviewers sound very positive hinting follow-ups. But recruiter had no visibility on the next steps. It's best to go through a referral or take Nvidia's process as a lottery draw. If you are lucky recruitment process would work out. Good luck! ”
“Overall, the interview process was quite well-structured, with clear stages and expectations. The interviewers were professional and the conversations were generally focused and relevant.”
“Overall, the interview process was well organized and structured. I appreciated the communication throughout the process and the opportunity to speak with different people from the team. The technical interviews were challenging but relevant and gave me a good understanding of the level expected at Google. One thing that could have gone better was the amount of time between some stages, as it made the process feel a bit longer than necessary. Overall, though, I had a positive experience and appreciated the professionalism and transparency of the interviewers. ”
“Was pretty straightforward, make sure to have strong STAR/CAR responses and understanding of basic product sense ”

“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.”
