I started with an interview with the hiring manager, which went well enough. I was told there would be a coding project, which would take about 6-8 hours to complete. Afterward, they would have a technical interview to discuss the project.

The project was a simple Traffic Controller. I spent a lot of time creating tests and writing documentation for this, as they emphasized these aspects in the instructions, along with writing the code.

I submitted it and was told two days later that I was rejected. I don't think they even looked at what I did. It shows a lot of contempt for the interviewer's time to demand an 8-hour project and then not even contact me back to discuss it.

What experience do you have in the space industry?
