I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at SpaceX in Mar 2015
Interview
Had my resume submitted via an employee referral. Had a phone interview with two senior engineers on the team I was applying for. They seemed exhausted as the interview started and stated they had already interviewed other applicants. Asked me pretty standard questions which seemed easy enough to answer, but gave confusing reactions.
I applied online, and a recruiter reached out a few months later to set up my first interview with a Team Lead. It went well so I moved onto the second interview with the Team Manager. Both interviews were extremely technical and they grilled you on your projects.
The interview started off with the interviewer asking a few behavioral questions, with the majority of the interview consisted of technical questions about engineering fundamentals and applying them to scenarios
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Which pillar in a rigid structure bears the most weight?
Very simple questions, but very specific to the role. There were multiple rounds, and each round was different. Again, very specific to the role and i was rejected for one position, then my former interviews were used to determine my qualification for a different position.
