I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Redondo Beach, CA) in Aug 2023
Interview
Quite difficult. Multiple interviews with a variety of different engineers. Takes a bit to get from the recruiter contact to an actual hiring manager. Would recommend study prior to your interview technical material that is directly applicable to the job role you are interviewing for.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
College like questions were asked during a phone interview which made it difficult to answer and communicate.
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
Rigorous but fairly reasonable in my experience. The technical problems often has a twist but if you have strong fundamentals you should be able to perform well. The recruiter and interviewers I interacted with are all very nice people.
4 rounds, 1 with technical recruiter, 1 with engineer, 1 with manager, and onsite. first 3 are over the phone. onsite was the challenge, consists of presentation, one-on-ones, and tour.
