“The process was very straightforward. In both technical rounds, I was asked questions from the top 50 Meta tagged LC questions list. Behavioral was also very standard.”
“Good process, helpful HR. I couldnt finish stats, I prepped hard but stalled during interview. Be calm and cool. Practice more and get strong in stats and rv fundamentals”
“Overall, the interview process was well organized and professional. The interviewers were engaged, respectful of time, and provided opportunities to discuss both technical and behavioral experiences. I appreciated the focus on real-world problem solving and the chance to explain my thought process rather than just provide answers. What went well was my ability to communicate my experience with data engineering, data warehousing, ETL pipelines, and large-scale data processing. I was also able to provide detailed examples from past projects and relate them to the requirements of the role. One area that could have gone better was managing time during some of the technical discussions. In a few cases, I spent more time than necessary exploring alternative approaches before arriving at the final solution. Looking back, I could have structured my responses more concisely and clarified assumptions earlier. Overall, the process was a valuable experience that helped me better understand the role, the team’s expectations, and the areas where I can continue to improve”
“The final round of the interview was focused more on my thought process than on identifying the final answer. It focused on assessing the depth and breadth to which I could analyze a problem for a root cause.”
“Process is very smooth, depending on the interview you could eigther be in a panel with the team or the engineering manager.”
“Interview process was very straight forward. The recruiter was extremely communicative and would jump on calls whenever I had questions. There were no surprises in any of the rounds - the recruiter had given ample information to prep. ”
“Overall, the interview process was well organized and the interviewers were professional and engaged. The questions focused heavily on product thinking, execution, stakeholder management, and communication rather than memorizing frameworks. I appreciated that the conversations felt collaborative and interviewers often built on previous answers instead of jumping to unrelated questions. The most challenging aspect was the depth of follow-up questions—they continuously probed assumptions and wanted increasingly specific examples, so it's important to have detailed stories prepared rather than high-level answers.”
“think assignment is the most tricky part it requires you a deeper understanding with AI, it is easy but please develop full understanding”
“The recruiter was kind and well organized. The product sense question was unique and fun to solve. The execution question threw me through a loop. I assumed OpenAI carefully released models for safety reasons but was told they give the model to everyone immediately to test it, so I had to pivot my launch strategy at the last moment.”

“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.”
