“What stood out to me is that every loop round started with product sense, then I had to turn that answer into a data model, and from that they jumped straight into SQL and Python. One case was even an Instagram metric drop where I had to do root cause analysis live.”
“IT was a AI based interview, where the interviewrs asked me some technical question related to spark, partitons, How did i managed a end to end data pipeline, how did si deploy data infrastructure”
“all went well, no problem at all, everything was smooth. interviewr was nice & soft spoken. Team was nice”
“Interviews are aligned with what mentioned in the Job description. Expect some system design questions as well. ”
“The overall interview process was incredibly smooth, straightforward, and well-organized from start to finish. The recruiter was exceptionally friendly, responsive, and did a fantastic job of setting clear expectations for each stage. There weren't any significant downsides, as the scheduling was efficient and the communication remained consistent throughout.”
“I definitely had good preparation on LP question which is one of the most important area because company focuses on this a lot”
“Overall, I’d rate the process as smooth and structured, with four rounds in total: two technical rounds focused on SQL and DSA, one system/design round, and one hiring manager discussion. The expectations were clear in advance, interviewers were punctual, and the questions were well aligned with the role. What went well was the depth and relevance of the SQL and design problems, which gave me a fair chance to showcase my experience with data pipelines and large-scale systems. What could have been better was more clarity on the evaluation criteria and faster post-interview communication, as the waiting period between rounds felt a bit long”
“The recruiter mentioned that I will be heavily judged on my Communication as well as problem-solving. What went well: 1. I solved all the questions. 2. I was communicating very well. I wasn't able to pass the round because the interviewer wasn't helpful at all. I asked a question regarding an assumption to the third SQL question, and she said no. When I coded it and received the wrong answer, she said your assumption was wrong. Also, she said, "Don't tell me, you can solve it any way you want to solve." Her phone rang twice (I could sense she was using it, looking down). She was kind of rude, she ran my code while I was coding, causing confusion at my end. Yes, an interview is a collaborative exercise in DoorDash. She added something to my code even without telling me, leading it to fail, and consuming my time to debug.”

“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.”
