Applications Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks.

Moved very quickly (2-3 weeks).

  • First round was a 15-minute recruiter screen where I was asked about my motivations for working at SpaceX, and to walk through some relevant work experience/projects.
  • Second round was a 60-minute interview, where I was asked to go into more detail on interesting experiences/projects and given a 40-minute coding assessment. The exercise was a SpaceX-themed LeetCode-style question.
