I did an online multi-stage code screen. Implementing a basic version of the spec is pretty easy IMO except for the time constraint. Speed (on a small toy project) seems to be essentially the only thing they're screening on. So much so that typing speed and facility with the online editor are not irrelevant. I also never communicated with a human at any point despite sending a follow-up email that merited some human response IMO.

Asked to build core business logic for a toy banking application
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.
