J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Anthropic (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
Anthropic provided great communication throughout the process, and a personal portal where I could learn about the company and the different kinds of interviews I would be having. It enabled me to brush up on the specific skillset I was being tested on. All of my interviewers were friendly, and I felt respected throughout the process. My only negative was that I was interviewing for a security engineer position, but was tested on coding skills and design skills. In my design interview, the interviewer actually asked me not to speak too detailed on security because it wasn't something he understood well. This kind of threw me off because I was unable to put my strengths on display throughout.

Question 1
Traverse a file path and find a subset of characters in each file
Initial screening application form with a motivational fit question and several checkbox radio screening questions, as well as CV/resume upload. They say they value the motivational fit very highly and it's important to write a lot for that section

Entretien
7 stages:
- codesignal take home: build a key value file system, time constraints are tough but it’s not too hard
- recruiter call: just explains the process and asks some experience questions
- live coding interview: async web crawler, you’re expected to discuss good async patterns live but start small with a synchronous solution
- systems design interview: given a function that returns tokens for an LLM system, make it scale to 100,000 requests a second. Expect to calculate systems throughput, understand distributed latency, and be careful to not over-engineer
- design document review: not sure, I got rejected
- recruiter call again: framed as “career goals”
- culture fit interview
