I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Feb 2016
Interview
I reached out to a recruiter, they got back to me with pre-screening, then 2 technical phone interviews. Didn't go onsite as they rejected me after 2nd technical phone interview. I didn't answer incorrectly but the interviewer didn't like they way I responded. Then the recruiter got back saying they were looking for significantly more experience(like 3~4 times the amount listed on job description). If so, why not screening me out during pre-screening ? Duh! Obviously it was not the recruiter's decision but the interviewer and/or the engineering team actually. Glad I got another offer with potentially better pay and much much much better work-life balance as I heard from reliable sources that this place will work employees to death with low pay. What a relief !! Good luck guys !!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Simple questions. They didn't really ask the things listed on the job description for which I enthusiastically got myself prepared.
1st Interview was with Recruiter. They were very nice and didn't ask many behavioral questions. Mostly told be about the role and made sure I was who I said I was.

Initial HR screening followed by technical phone interview. Technical questions included job specific questions related to rocket fuel and propulsion. Some general engineering questions were asked and a 10 min summary of technical background followed up with specific questions. Phone interview was 30 mins.

Interview
Check a box questions for newbies. Interviewer had no insight at all. Not just worthless but insulting for an experienced professional. Interviewer was late and rushed the process. Interviewer was incompetent.
