I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (New York, NY) in Jun 2020
Interview
1) Phone interview with recruiter
2) Interview with hiring manager about my projects and employment history
For no apparent reason they decided to move with other candidates even though I answered all my questions correctly. They clearly are biased, have favoritism, and cockiness.

Tell me about one project to showcase engineering skills
I applied for Software Engineer Data position. It was fine. 1 hour leetcode style interview on codility. The difficulty was medium. I had an alright experience. Was able to get brute force but not optimized solution.
