Process
This really depends on the interviewer.
I couldn't answer the riddle, and it disqualified me. The decline email was very brief. I won't apply again simply because the interviewer was not professional.

SpaceX Work Experiences
4.0
Exciting but hard place to work
Software Test Engineer II • Former Employee
Redmond, WA
June 28, 2024
Pros: A fast moving company doing incredible things. Really talented, and motivated engineers for the most part who get s**t done.
Cons: Burnout. Only certain personalities will be able to stay here long term. Nobody is cracking a whip over you necessarily, but it is just the culture of the place to work long and hard, and you do not want to let your co-workers down.
The company makes quick decisions and pivots, which can be good, but can also lead to lots of churn for individual engineers.
