I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
Everyone was really nice and you can tell they're super intelligent. I had a great experience interviewing and it felt like an exercise in critical thinking rather than standard behaviorals.
1 phone screen with recruiter. 1 phone call with peer. Each 30 minutes balanced across personal experience with specific examples about leadership, influencing product roadmaps, and settling work conflicts amicably.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- Tell me about a time when you needed to change the mind of your leadership team. - Tell me about a time when you influenced the product roadmap. How did you research - how did you implement? - How do you address an employee who is underperforming?
