“Everything you find online about the interview structure is exactly how it is run. I split the interviews over 4 consecutive days. I could have asked more questions and done a lot more mock interview practice. When an interviewer interjects - you are off track, take a moment to catch your breath and come back. ”
“Easy enough. They go narrow and deep on the homework assignments. Answer the questions as is. Do not question the question. ”
“By far the most technically challenging interview process I've ever had to do for new grad product management roles. Successive coding questions in a constrained time block.”
“It was an AI humanoid-led interview with no human in the loop, which was a first for me. The questions were well-structured and gave me enough space to respond fully. That said, interacting with a humanoid AI felt surreal at times — it was hard to shake the feeling of speaking to something that looked human but wasn’t. It took a few minutes to settle in and focus on the content of my answers rather than the format.”
“The recruiter was warm and friendly. The conversation went well. Moving on to second round, where we'll dive more deeply into 2 specific examples.”
“Communication was very smooth with the recruiting team. The online assessment was relatively easier. The technical interview was pretty conversational rather than case heavy.”
“Overall positive experience – people very friendly and sharp. Mostly behavioral interviews, with deep dive on prior work. There was 1+ week of silence after final round. Think it was because the recruiter got reassigned. ”
“Got rejected for the jam session where the interviewers were senior leadership. The hiring manager round and the design collaboration round went fairly well. ”
“The process was more rigorous than anything I’d done at other big tech companies, but the recruiter was accurate and helpful about what to prepare, which I really appreciated. A few things did catch me off guard: one round was more execution- and tradeoff-heavy than I expected, and the bar for structured, concise answers felt very high throughout. Overall, it was challenging but fair, and I came away with a positive impression of the process.”

“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.”
