I was contacted by a SpaceX recruiter on LinkedIn and flown to LA. You're in for a treat.

First, there's a tour of the factory, which is awesome. You'll give a 30-minute to 1-hour presentation to a group of engineers and managers. Then, you'll break off into approximately 30-minute one-on-one interviews. If you do well on the presentation, you're in for an experience of a lifetime (if you like rockets, like me).

Just be sure to chat with your hiring manager after the interview and manage expectations. Great communication is the key to many fun things in life, like Rocket League ;)
