J'ai passé un entretien chez SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA)
Entretien
Simple, good interview. Process was smooth, but communication with recruiting team was rough. Was difficult to get in touch with interviewer after the interview. Overall was a good experience. Turned down the offer for grad school.
Difficult. Strictly technical. 2 minute elevator pitched that was then 25-30 minutes of technical questions. Asked a lot about pressurized vessels. Asked a brain teaser question in the very end. Expect randomness. They wanna see how you think.

Entretien
Phone call with recruiter confirming details and asking a few confirmation questions. Then phone call with team lead where they asked theoretical questions. The phone call was just through phone, no need for video. They start off asking about you and then asking three theory based problems.
