Question 1
Explain projects and past work experience in DEPTH
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
One phone interview, 30 mins. Then HR forgot to call me for a few weeks to tell me that I got it. Generally very easy and straightforward, the engineers conducting the phone interview were clearly busy and stressed. Also they often shuffle interns to end up working for a different manager than the one with whom they interviewed.
