Anthropic has one of the hardest hiring bars in tech to get past.

And the most likely reason you will get rejected from Anthropic is their CultureFit round.

That is a fact from an internal source at their company.

The CultureFit round is most likely to be failed because of the following three reasons.

Reason number one, you don't bring up any projects that are sketchy legally or ethically from your past.

You heard that right.

You don't bring up sketchy things.

That's the problem.

Number two, you are not showing enough emotional discomfort about that sketchiness.

Reason number three, you are not skeptical enough about Anthropik's mission.

You heard that right as well.

All of this is counterintuitive and that's where the problem lies.

Let's get into the counterintuitive ways to approach this interview and actually pass it.

Let's start with the easier problem.

Okay.

So not about your past projects.

Let's start with Anthropik's mission.

What do candidates normally do in an interview round about the mission?

I love the mission.

I'm a big fan.

It's my dream company.

That kind of thinking here is going to make you fail.

Anthropik will say something to the tune of wanting some push back on their mission.

And they're not going to word the question like that.

They're going to be like, this is what we're trying to do.

Give us some feedback on the mission.

Or what are some things about our values that you think you want to give us feedback on?

It's going to be something like that.

And the wrong thing to do would just be like, it all sounds great.

I think I'd fit in here.

It's not skeptical enough.

They want to hear some skepticism.

The skeptical enough approach would say something like, you know what?

I'm not really sold on the mission.

You guys are basically trying to do safety for everyone and everything.

And not every company in this space is doing that.

So what if they get there first because they're cutting those corners.

Great answer.

Healthy amount of skepticism included in your answer.

Next, they're going to ask you about moral dilemmas from your past.

What that means is the question can, again, it can take a lot of different shapes, but it's going to be something that's going to bring up a conflict within you.

Tell me about a time you had a moral conflict at work, or tell me about a time you had to build something that was against your values,

or tell me about a time where you did something at work that didn't sit right with you.

It's going to be something like that.

And the three levels of answers here, right?

And let's just be honest, every single tech company in the world for the most part is doing some legally or ethically questionable things.

The first mistake is to not mention one.

If you're trying to save face because you don't want to admit to anything that sat wrong with you in the past, that's a big mistake.

I would think a common one.

As we go up, it gets a little bit less common.

So that's the most common mistake.

Probably the least common mistake, but still possible, is to admit something that is so sketchy that it actually becomes a huge red flag.

Now, the chances of you doing this are quite low, but just to be absolutely clear, this would be something like, there was a recent LinkedIn viral post about this person who,

They were admitting that their early stage of their company was they would join meetings with a bot note taker, but it was really them.

And then everything blew up because all the data privacy concerns.

So that would be a level that's too sketchy to admit.

But let's say we want to find that nice middle zone, right?

How sketchy can we be to make Anthropic like us?

And that's what we want.

We want to say, you know, maybe there's this one time where we were getting some user data

and sending it to another location that was not exactly legal.

And we didn't exactly get the permission from the user to do that.

That's step one, admitting that.

Step two, to make this good answer even better, is you got to be ready to tell them that you didn't like the way it made you feel.

You got to tell them it made you a little bit uncomfortable.

And they're going to kind of investigate this in a lot of different ways.

They can ask you who you talk to about that dilemma.

They could say, what did they say?

How did that make you feel?

Have you felt differently now, but you've had a chance to look back on it?

All of it's wrapped up in finding a past sketchy situation, having that sketchiness not sit right with you,

actually doing some work to try to have would sit right with you.

And still, it doesn't sit right with you.

It sounds crazy.

And that's the way to pass this interview.

In this round, you're also going to get asked these kind of normal big tech behavioral questions

that are hard and you can definitely fail them, but we don't need to go into them because we actually go over them much more comprehensively in our behavioral course.

But just for the record, these are things like tell me about a time you had a conflict.

Tell me about a time you gave tough feedback, received tough feedback, a time you had a solution you thought was wrong, a time you had to go above and beyond your job description.

So that's it.

Make sure you have some past sketchy experiences, not too sketchy, but not not sketchy enough.

And do not be comfortable with how that sketchiness made you feel.

And get out there at Anthropic and any other company and break a leg.

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
