I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) in Dec 2021
Interview
A couple of phone interviews with the hiring manager, after a quick in person talk in a job fair with HR and engineers currently working there. All interviews focused on technical topics. The phone interview was focused on the technical requirements of the job I was being offered.
1st round phone interview, talked about portfolio and asked general behavioral questions. Talked about company projects and how I could apply my skills there. Recruiter was polite and showed genuine interest in my projects.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Describe the hardest challenge you faced during my projects.
Completely virtual, 3 30 minute phone calls, some technical questions and some resume questions. Overall not terrible and they definitely use a standard question bank because I have gotten similar questions.

Question 1
Imagine a hot dog as a pressure vessel. Does it split laterally or longitudinally and why?
There was an initial phone call. Next, there was another phone technical interview. They gave engineering questions that were more basic but difficult if you did not take the classes.
