      Apr 25, 2024
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Seattle, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SpaceX (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2023

      Interview

      Multiple phone calls and interviews culminated in final round presentation. Initial phone call led to multiple calls with recruiters who either forgot or failed to show up. Asked for a lot with 30-minute presentation and really wanted to know proprietary previous company information.
