“Very thorough and difficult process. End to end you're doing a recruiter call, IQ/competency assessment, hiring manager interview (which was a mini case question), a combined 1.5 hour product sense + product execution interview, an engineering working session and a final in person presentation round. I only made it to the product sense. Did not like my two interviewers and the recruiter as they were not aligned with what I should expect. The recruiter had me prepare completely differently. Overall, they try to force fit the product interview frameworks and styles you'll find in big tech. ”
“It was smooth and well-coordinated. Emphasis on your life story and how you got to where you are now, and why you are seeking out this role. Execution/product sense interview went well - it was specific to Shopify's business line, so I had to understand their user segments. ”
“The process was well-structured, starting with a recruiter screen followed by a deep dive with the hiring manager and a final "super day" involving cross-functional stakeholders (Engineering, Sales, and Supply Chain). What went well was the alignment on product vision; I was able to demonstrate how my technical background helps bridge the gap between complex chemical solutions and digital customer tools. What didn’t go well was the initial technical case study—it was more data-heavy than I anticipated, requiring a very quick pivot to explain how I’d prioritize features under tight regulatory constraints.”
“Process was smooth. Recruiter was incredible and very communicative. They provided good verbal feedback and enough tips on each round to adequately prepare. People I interviewed with were all kind and seemed neutral vs certain companies where it feels like they want you to fail.”
“The process was a part of campus recruiting. The interviewers created a comfortable environment and the rounds were conversational. 30-40% of the interview time was dedicated towards behavioural fit questions.”
“The process was pretty straightforward. Interviews were primarily focused on behavioural types of questions and my past work experience. I had a list of STAR stories prepared.”
“Comparatively easy, but took a lot of time to complete the process. Keep your calm and you should be good.”

“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.”
