SpaceX Recruiter interview questions

I was extremely disappointed by this experience. The hiring manager reached out for an interview and asked to speak the same day, giving me the impression that the need for the role was urgent. After a 30 minute intake, the HM told me to expect an update either the next day or the following Monday. It has now been over a week and a half since the interview and the hiring manager has ignored all follow-up correspondence. Not the kind of candidate experience I would expect from a company with the reputation of SpaceX. I understand all too well that it is uncomfortable to reject a candidate, but leaving them hanging after providing a concrete date for an update is unacceptable. That being said, I would not want to recruit for a company with this lack of focus on candidate experience, so maybe in the end this was a good thing.

Like others have mentioned, I've been ghosted with no closure or feedback. I had two interviews with different members of the team and still haven't heard anything after almost 3 weeks. At the end of the day, SpaceX probably wasn't for me anyway. Both of my interviewers seemed intentionally prickly and aggressive. My second interviewer basically checked-out within the first 30 seconds of our call (they couldn't even muster up a polite greeting) and kinda huffed-and-puffed their way through the interview. Seemed overly rude and childish. That style of Recruiting probably works for SpaceX, but kinda turned me off of the opportunity entirely. I also would be extremely wary of an organization that thinks it's acceptable to leave candidates hanging with no closure during a time when so many people are out of work and desperate for a next opportunity.
