Company seems very busy hiring and stuff. Recruiter screening was truly enjoyable, former Google recruiter, he had this very supportive attitude and gave a good overview of the role.

When I went to the manager interview was when things got weird. I think the interview was done from the phone in a bit of a rush, no real rubric behind, just old-fashioned "lemme try to corner you."

The beginning was fine, but then the interviewer started asking very Anthropic-specific questions about harness and other things, which was not a requirement nor a differentiator on the role description.

I never got feedback, maybe because it would be weird to say that they can't hire me because I don't know something they didn't ask, but I also left feeling bad, like, I had trained so much and ended up talking to this guy on his phone just because and couldn't share what I know or like.

It was weird, but good that you get to meet the manager and find out you are not a fit early in the journey. I most definitely didn't match with him and wouldn't be a cheerful journey for us.

Why Anthropic, when is cache calculated, what’s model harness
