I applied through college or university. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
An initial phone screen followed by a coding challenge, a behavioral interview, and a virtual on-site. Virtual on-site included a take-home case study to solve a large technical problem, which I presented to the team I would be joining. After the case study presentation and questions were six thirty-minute one-on-one interviews of varying technical and behavioral questions.
