After applying on their company website, went through two basic phone interviews. The goal was basically to get to know me and my experience level. Conversations were around a half hour each, conducted by department heads and team leaders. After getting two positive reviews they flew me down to the cape for an in person interview. This consisted of a panel style interview with 5-6 people of various company levels asking more in depth questions about my experience, as well as some "what would I do" style questions. Next was a lovely tour of the facility with a team leader. After the in person interview I had one more phone interview which felt like a formality... And then an offer came a week later. The compensation was on the low end for my experience level, and they didn't seem to have too much room for negotiation. I was able to get a number I could live with, but after looking into their benefits package it seemed lighter than it should be given the level of accountability. My only real concern during the process is that it appears the level of compensation and benefits is declining as the company grows and finds higher levels of success.

The recruiter reached out to me a few weeks after I submitted my resume, we had a thirty-minute call where he asked questions about experience and why I was interested in Space-X.
