I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SpaceX in Mar 2018
Interview
I received a C debugging quiz after applying online. I passed the quiz and was contacted by a recruiter shortly after. The recruiter asked for a time for when id be available for a phone screen I gave her a time and she confirmed it. On the day of our phone screen she never called. I emailed her multiple time and received no response. I also contacted three other SpaceX recruiters on linkedin and they are also ignoring me as well. I can see that SpaceX probably gets a lot of application but this is still very disrespectful. I can also see that many recruiters on linkedin probably get messages from others trying to get an interview all the time. So they probably thought I was lying about getting a quiz so I could get an interview.
Phone call with a recruiter discussing SpaceX, its goals, my resume, professional experience, interest in the role, availability to work overtime, and ability to handle additional responsibilities when needed for the position.
