I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at SpaceX (Denver, CO) in Jul 2015
Interview
Lame - applied online 3 months later "email" HR interview (not with the manager who knows the job) - 7 questions told to expand on them.
Cannot expand on 1 + 1 = 2. Is what Is.
No feedback - looks like HR has the answers SpaceX wants to see and if you do not match the Chosen Answers an automatic NO by e-mail.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1. Describe a time when you took a stance against popular consensus. What was the outcome?
2. What are the most important things to consider when analyzing the impact of a change?
3. What are the typical elements of a complex manufacturing operation?
4. What are the pros and cons of standardization?
5. What does you current (or most recent) require you to do that you think is wasteful/inefficient? Why do you think it is wasteful? How would you change this requirement? What prevents this change?
6. Your manager wants to understand the efficiency and effectiveness of a Change Control Process. What 3 metrics/measurements would you choose to most effectively convey this? Why?
7. What was the last thing you learned? How did you learn it? How long did it take you to become proficient?
