I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at SpaceX (Redmond, WA) in Nov 2024
Interview
Recruiters and interviewers were very encouraging, but the final in person interview round was intense. There was a one hour long presentation on the technical assessment and then there were also three interviews that followed the presentation.
