How it went

The interview process with xAI was notably rapid, progressing from an initial call to an on-site interview within a very short timeframe. The technical interview involved discussing past challenging projects and a straightforward coding problem. The company also mentioned a two-week trial period to assess performance and cultural fit, which, along with the compressed timeline, made it difficult to fully evaluate the opportunity.
