I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX in Jan 2017
Interview
Phone screen, they asked math questions(binary search trees, graphs, etc...). Recruiter was friendly, but he missed some information from CV. They eventually refused, because according to law they can't hire foreign workers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic theoretical questions about binary search trees
Basic questions about python vs c++, am I authorized to work in the US, stack vs heap, projects and my experience mentioned in my resume, quick introduction about myself and why i wish to work at spacex.
Recruiter screens usually hit: time/space complexity of common operations, why O(log n) beats O(n), array vs hash map vs linked list tradeoffs, and Big-O of sorting. Want me to drill you on these?
