I applied online. I interviewed at Capella Space (Louisville, CO) in Jan 2026
Interview
First thing that the recruiter said on the call is that interns get paid a non-negotiable 2,250 stipend for the entire summer which is about 1/10 of the listed 37$ per hour on the job posting. I said no

Question 1
Is this amount of money ok with you. It is non negotiable
A very pleasant experience. The recruiting team is very approachable and devoted to getting to know you as a person in addition to just being a candidate. I immediately could tell how positive the company culture was from the interview itself. The hiring process was also very smooth, straightforward, and transparent.

Question 1
They primarily asked standard behavioral questions.
Initial HR Zoom meeting. Good questions to get to know me and my background. However, when the discussion turned to age, I felt that was very inappropriate. Essentially, reading between the lines, the interviewer seemed to imply that since I am over 40 years old, I was going to be passed over for this position. I do not feel age should ever be brought up in an interview, especially with HR.
