“Process was quick, team was professional, and had a diverse set of interviews. Recommendation to split the loop into two days.”

“I had an initial interview with a recruiter and then progressed to the first technical stage, which I didn’t pass. It involved an OOP-based task where I had to design a system similar to VS Code that tracks when function are opened and closed”

“Interview was difficult, especially on the Beast team. It included IQ test, System design, coding a binary problem on blockchain, and behavioral, and going over a technical project i worked on. Each interview had to go really well or I wasn't gonna get the offer.”
“Overall, the interview process was well structured and professional. I appreciated that the interviewers were friendly, engaged, and created a comfortable atmosphere, which made the conversations feel natural rather than overly formal. The questions also gave me a good opportunity to discuss my experience, problem-solving approach, and motivation.”

“The technical rounds were generally well structured and covered both coding and system design. I performed well in most of the technical discussions, but I found the system design round more challenging. Overall, the process was professional and gave me a clear understanding of the technical expectations.”
“Nice. People genuinely wanted to help. Strong focus on WLB. Hired as new grad. People are genuinely friendly and want to help.”

“I got fast-tracked to the final round. So I can't really speak to the standardized experience. But the interviewer was very nice.”
“The process felt well-organized overall. The recruiter was responsive and scheduling was quick. The technical round was the toughest part — I felt slightly underprepared for the depth of follow-up questions. Communication after the final round was a bit slow.”
“The interviews were more of conversations where they stimulate you to think of an issue related to their business. Eg: Auth. People were nice and smart.”

“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.”
