Does Anthropic send rejection emails?

Yes, Anthropic typically sends rejection emails to candidates who do not make it through their hiring process. Like most companies, they aim to keep candidates informed of their status, whether it's a rejection or moving forward in the process.

However, the timing and content of the rejection emails can vary:

1. Immediate Rejections: After an initial screening (like resume review or the first technical round), if they decide not to move forward, you may receive a rejection email relatively quickly.

2. Post-Interview Rejections: If you've gone through one or more interviews, Anthropic usually provides an update, even if it’s a rejection, often with some feedback depending on the stage you reached.

3. Delayed Responses: Occasionally, there may be delays, especially if the hiring team needs more time to evaluate candidates. If you're in doubt and haven't heard back, it's always a good idea to politely follow up.

If you’re navigating through multiple interviews or applications, it’s useful to have a strategy in place for handling rejections and learning from them. You can also prepare more effectively for future interviews using courses like Grokking the Coding Interview or Grokking System Design Interview, which can help you improve for the next opportunity!
