I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Sep 2023
Interview
Well managed interview process, without any hiccups during the discussions. The recruiter stated some weird things that seemed like lies to get me super interested in them. The tech interview was medium difficulty and the interviewer was great to speak to. Answered questions thoroughly and gave me a fair technical question to answer. Although, he only gave me 15 minutes to answer it, which made me feel extremely rushed and not prepared
