其招募流程以文化面试著称，通常最多有 5 轮严格面试与技能测验，且原则上禁止在面试中使用 AI，候选人还须先签署 NDA。面试会评估价值观、世界观、对 AI 风险的重视程度，以及是否能在分歧议题上理性辩论。前面试官与候选人形容这一轮往往像治疗而非求职面谈，低评分常直接导致淘汰。
财务与成长数据同样惊人：Anthropic 预计月末前年度营收将突破 500 亿美元，较去年底约 90 亿美元大幅上升；公司也在洽谈再融资 300 亿美元，估值超过 9,000 亿美元，可能成为全球最有价值的 AI 新创。留任率达 80%（两年），是同业最高；OpenAI 与 DeepMind 的工程师流入 Anthropic 的机率分别高出 8 倍与近 11 倍。
Anthropic, best known for the Claude chatbot, has become one of the most coveted employers in tech. Head count is a little above 3,000, with about 1,000 additions since November, and its recruiting and HR team has doubled since last summer. Many jobs advertise compensation above $250,000, while key roles can reach as high as $850,000, underscoring the company’s rapid expansion and intense hiring push.
Its hiring process is unusually mission-focused and rigorous: candidates may face as many as five rounds of interviews and skills assessments, are generally barred from using AI in interviews, and must sign an NDA before advancing. A culture interview probes values, worldview, and seriousness about AI risk, as well as the ability to discuss controversial issues respectfully. Former recruiters and candidates say this round often feels more like therapy than an interview, and a low score can mean rejection. (Key numbers: 5)
The financial trajectory is equally striking. Anthropic expects annual revenue to top $50 billion by the end of next month, up from about $9 billion at the end of last year, while also discussing a new $30 billion raise at a valuation above $900 billion. That would make it the world’s most valuable AI startup. A reported 80% two-year retention rate leads peers, and engineers are eight times more likely to move from OpenAI to Anthropic, and nearly 11 times more likely from DeepMind.
