“There were a lot of probing questions that followed after each question. One good thing was that the hiring manager was pasting each question she asked on the chat, so that I could follow through.”
“They called me for a 15 min call and ask me about my latest projects and how I was dealing with them”
“Interview so far is focused mainly on behavioral questions and theoretical scenarios. Didn't ask much about Product sense/how to improve the existing product.”
“all rounds were behavioral. hiring managers also talked a lot about their current organization. final round especially was very light on any product sense related questions. mostly asking questions about previous experience”
“The process was more slow than expected. The recruiter was very attentive and helpful. Interviewers were happy to share about culture and open up about the less "shiny" aspects.”
“So far straightforward phone screen. Prepped background and interests well and tried to speak to the role in a bit of detail. ”
“The recruiter did a good job of giving me an idea of what to expect. Honestly, I didn't practice enough mocks by the time the interview came around. I liked that they had a portal for viewing the application process but I got no notification at all about my rejection.”
“The interview process was structured but still felt conversational. There was a strong focus on my background, relevant product and B2B experience, and how I approach ambiguous business problems. The main challenge was that some of the questions required you to structure your thinking quickly and balance strategic, product, and business considerations at the same time. ”
“Recruiter tells you questions before hand so I would practice those questions. Structure is predictable so make sure you are prepared”

“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.”
