      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Aug 25, 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Los Angeles, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (Los Angeles, CA) in Jul 2016

      Interview

      The interview consisted of a phone call to determine skills and qualifications in relation to the job posting. They'll ask you about your past work experience, how many years you were there, what prompted you to leave or why you're exploring other opportunities. They appear to be somewhat rigid in what they want from their candidates, so if you have the skills but are lacking in some departments, they'll typically pass you up.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      What type of analysis experience do you have? How many years in the aerospace industry do you have?

      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Apr 13, 2023
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mojave, CA
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (Mojave, CA) in Mar 2023

      Interview

      Had an initial phone screen with recruiter. Then talked to the hiring manager. Had 2 back to back panel interviews with 3 engineers. The panel interviews asked questions about my background and had a few brain teasers. I ended up getting a verbal offer, never received the official offer due to "organizational issues" and a few weeks later got a rejection email. Assuming they were prioritizing taking on employees from Virgin Orbit.

      Mechanical Engineer Interview

      Feb 1, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Mojave, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (Mojave, CA) in Dec 2016

      Interview

      I applied for the job online through their careers website and was contacted in December for a 30 minute phone interview. The director of the department interviewed me and asked a lot of technical questions related to the department I was interviewing for. I received an email from the HR department of Virgin Galactic and within a week had scheduled my phone interview. The phone interview was very prompt and started exactly on time. The difficult part of phone interviews is you can't see the person's facial expressions so it is difficult to judge your progress based solely on their tone.

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      What's the longest and most complicated code you've written.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      How long would it take to assemble an office chair in CAD program?
