Mechanical Engineering Internship Interview Experience
Process
Applied online.
Received a call a couple weeks later from an HR representative to schedule a phone interview.
The next day, I talked with a program director about his position. He asked me questions related to SpaceX, my education, and experience, etc. It was typical interview stuff, not really technical at all.
Questions
There was no technical question.

Great pay when considering stocks.Cons: Be ready for extreme pressure to deliver on things you've never done before and have little to no time to get up to speed learning. It can be very stressful and very difficult to perform at a high level compared to others. You can survive at the company with good work, but the only way to thrive is to go extremely above and beyond, which is a hard task when everyone is doing exactly that.
