I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
Brief phone interview, followed by a 48-hour technical assessment. I did not make it past this point, but the next step would have been an on-site visit for a day of touring/interviews.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Phone screen was the usual - introduction to yourself, why SpaceX, etc.
Technical assessment was to solve a problem given a set of constraints. The problem is likely a simplified version of something you'd reasonably have to figure out as a SpaceX Software Engineer.
Recruiting Call -> Several rounds of technical interview: very fundamental questions that probe your conceptual understanding. Make sure to study / review first principles as it gets theorectical. Quick 30 minute phone calls

Question 1
Tell me about one project to showcase engineering skills
I applied for Software Engineer Data position. It was fine. 1 hour leetcode style interview on codility. The difficulty was medium. I had an alright experience. Was able to get brute force but not optimized solution.
Recruiter screen was a lot of trivia, very basic trivia that any software engineer should know so make sure to read up on some python syntax etc. to be able to answer the trivia questions. can be tricky given time limit
