My experience consisted of 10 interviews and 1 presentation. Interview 1: phone screening with HR - fairly standard Interview 2: phone interview with I&T manager - fairly standard and enjoyable Then came the on site interviews (1 presentation + 8 interviews in 1 day) It started with the presentation of a past project of mine. Before I started they told me that if they didn't think I was a fit after the presentation I would go home without any interviews. I thought this was really unprofessional and that they should have mentioned this beforehand. The next 8 interviews were the same 30 minute interview over and over, just with different members of the team. They all asked the same questions to the point where I was incredibly tired of my own answers. One note on HR: they don't get diversity. I was concerned about the white boy culture and asked about diversity efforts. She got really awkward on the phone and acted like she didn't know what I meant. She said everyone can be who they are and people even wear shorts to work like wearing shorts to work is important. When I visited in person it was clear why she avoided it - the work force is a mirror image of a college frat. After interviewing, I didn't hear back for two weeks and two follow-ups.

The interview process for spaceX is meticulous. They have several rounds and ask college knowledge of engineering principles. Be sure to brush up on these before going into the interviews
