I interviewed at Neuralink (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Not positive experience overall. A recruiter call following a video interview with the director. Everyone in this company seem to be so busy that they are late for every interview. Not a typical recruiting process

Work me through a project you've done recently
Why Neuralink?
I applied online. I interviewed at Neuralink (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2026
Interview
Thorough, no nonsense, yet respectful of the applicants time. Very transparent about the process with recruiters helping through every step. Zero ambiguity on expectations throughout any part of the interviews. First half were remote, second were on site.
Was pretty fun, they gave me a second chance. Technical in nature mostly. I gave a presentation on one of the projects I had been a part of previously. Then I had a next round which was a coding interview and was related to problem solving.
