J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 1 jour. J'ai passé un entretien chez Anthropic en juin 2024
Entretien
You get sent a Code Signal Test with 90 minutes to complete. The test is extremely lengthy, with many edge cases, and they will reject you if you don’t make it through most of the 4th problem. If you have the debug something you will be wasting time. Only way it is possible to pass is if you are already very familiar with the questions. Anthropic is missing out on potentially great hires because of these types of tests. I would not interview with this company again if sent another Code Signal to complete.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Know the questions ahead of time or you will most likely be screwed unless you are a competitive programmer.
They sent me an automated CodeSignal test before I ever spoke to a human, which consisted of 4 stages of the same problem with each stage getting progressively more complex. Did not progress beyond this stage.

The interview loop at Anthropic is completely different from the standard FAANG pipeline. They do not care about your ability to speed run algorithms. The entire process is built around "First Principles" thinking and writing extremely robust and safe code. After the recruiter screen, I had a deep dive pair programming session with an engineer. It felt much more like a collaborative work session than a test. They want to see how you handle edge cases and system failures in real time. I was asked to build a reliable message ingestion component that could handle streaming data with unpredictable latency spikes.

Applied online, had an initial recruiter screen and a few technical rounds. Did not make it to onsite. Questions were pretty difficult and thoughtful, different than typical coding and system designs online.
