I noticed not many people have shared their experience interviewing with Anthropic. I'm currently going through the process and just went through the phone screen, so I figured I'd share and help out.

One thing I noticed when prepping is that the current question bank for both the coding phone screen and system design rounds appears to be very small. From what I have seen from other posts like this one and reddit, is there are only a handful of reported questions for each stage.

I've seen people get asked a variation of the LC webcrawler question lot but I haven't been asked it yet.

CodeSignal OA

I was given a CodeSignal online assessment. It ended being the exact problem I had already practiced, so this went pretty well.

Recruiter / HR Call

After passing the OA, I had a recruiter call that focused mainly on:

• Resume walkthrough
• Why Anthropic
• What I know about their values and mission
  I would definitely recommend prepping some good answers to these ahead of the call

Phone Interview

The recruiter call also went smooth and I got a link to mloop to schedule the tech screen. Before the interview, I practiced all the known coding questions I could find

During the actual phone interview, I was asked the Stack Trace problem, which was another of the questions I had specifically prepared.

Overall Thoughts

I feel the interview went well and I will likely be moving on to the onsite round. If people are interested, I can share a follow-up post after completing the onsite and summarize those rounds as well.
