I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at SpaceX in Dec 2023
Interview
Applied to SpaceX online in September 2023. Was contacted in December 2023 for a 30-minute phone screening with a project manager. Very simple; was asked about my past projects, greatest achievements, career interests, and leadership skills. Had a different pending offer with a 5-day deadline which I told HR about. Wasn't hopeful that they would meet that deadline, but heard back within that week that I got the job—no second interview or anything.

Question 1
What is your proudest technical achievement? Have you ever faced a challenge on a team project, and how did you solve it?
Technical. They did not provide me with the required information for the interview. They provided me saying I was doing something else. They still continued anyway and said I was wrong.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Nov 2023
Interview
Was reached out to by a hiring manager. Started with a phone screen interview before moving to project team interview. They said they would fly me to California for an in-person technical presentation for round 3 if round 2 worked well.
