How it went
The candidate interviewed for a Product Manager role at xAI, expecting typical PM interviews but instead encountered two rounds focused heavily on machine learning and post-training evaluations. The scope of the role appeared exceptionally broad, encompassing product, engineering, data science, and project management responsibilities. The second round involved a technical case study on improving model precision, which seemed to conclude early, leading to a rejection citing a mismatch in desired qualifications.
