I applied online. I interviewed at SpaceX in July 2021
Interview
Set up the date and time for the interview - they never called. I wasted time preparing for nothing. I e-mailed and called the recruited, but they never replied. Left me extremely frustrated and with a sour taste in my mouth.

Other Mechanical Engineer I interview reviews for SpaceX
Multiple rounds of interviews ending with an all day onsite interview. Asked questions about background, classic textbook problems, and coworker interactions. Very technical and difficult. Lots of time spent trying to understand your thought process
Rigorous but fairly reasonable in my experience. The technical problems often has a twist but if you have strong fundamentals you should be able to perform well. The recruiter and interviewers I interacted with are all very nice people.
4 rounds, 1 with technical recruiter, 1 with engineer, 1 with manager, and onsite. first 3 are over the phone. onsite was the challenge, consists of presentation, one-on-ones, and tour.
