      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (Mojave, CA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      The most down to earth, friendly 4 hour interview. It was very relaxing. It was almost as if I had sat down with old friends and talked about work and how the family was doing. also had a very detailed tour of the company and its products

      Unorganized. They didn't know what they were interviewing me for. Said they loved me and to expect an offer in the next couple weeks. A YEAR later I got a call telling me I didn't get the job.

      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Virgin Galactic (Tustin, CA) in Jan 2022

      Interview

      Had a screening with HR, next a phone interview with the hiring manager. Moved on to panel interview onsite. Both interviews were casual. On site interview was about 3 hours but was a casual interview. I was offered the job but then HR kept back tracking on salary, they never sent me an official offer letter. Went below salary expectations I asked to counter offer and never heard back.

      Engineer Interview

      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Virgin Galactic

      Interview

      There was an opportunity to have a more social visit with the people who would be managers. I found the technical questions to be very easy - mostly standard aerospace knowledge, I felt it was very doable; however I think I was overqualified for the position I was interviewing for, and in retrospect I should have pushed for an opportunity to show deeper knowledge.

      Question 1

      Lift over drag vs angle of attack plots.
