Anthropic reportedly screens job candidates with a culture interview testing whether they would put the company’s mission ahead of their future wealth. One applicant was asked how they would feel if a safety decision sent Anthropic’s stock to zero.
Polymarket traders see a radically different future for the Claude maker, giving Anthropic a 68% chance of reaching a $2 trillion valuation by year-end and a 47% chance of hitting $2.5 trillion.

Axios reported that every Anthropic job candidate undergoes a culture interview conducted by an employee nominated for the role. The questions are suggested rather than fully scripted, according to a former employee familiar with the process.
Axios cited a Blind post from a candidate who said they would not be happy if the stock went to zero, arguing that Anthropic should pursue its mission while building a sustainable business. The candidate said the interviewer "didn’t seem to like that answer."
