I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
Thorough and meaningful assessment of technical abilities as well as ability to demonstrate ownership of past work. Started with a phone screen (in coordination with a recruiter), moved to a technical assessment, then any further phone screenings as needed, and an on-site interview.
The interview process is very fast (4-5 weeks, from start to finish, is typical)
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?
