Other Senior Software Engineer interview reviews for xAI
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at xAI (Palo Alto, CA) in May 2026
Interview
The recruiter kept stressing about how the company was an extremely intense work culture.
Interview was actually just two coding interviews.
Had a choice b/w data structure vs algorithms for the first one.
Second problem was the twitter spaces problem.
Going onsite was very tiring.
