Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Redmond, WA) nel mese di nov 2015
Colloquio
I interview for a software engineer position. I past the interview and was then asked to prepare and present a set of slides for a predefined project. I presented the project and was invited to the Redmond, WA office to present to the SW team. The presentation was well received with the exception of one strangely hostile former Microsoft employee who apparently had a chip on his shoulder. The presentation was followed with one-on-one software coding interviews (which I admit I hadn't prepared properly for due to preparing presentation, time-consuming application, etc) with the typical software questions such as link lists. Again encountered the irrational hostile former Microsoft employee way past the point of rude. It was an awful experience. I don't think I would have taken the job if offered knowing I would have to see that guy everyday.
Recruiting Call -> Several rounds of technical interview: very fundamental questions that probe your conceptual understanding. Make sure to study / review first principles as it gets theorectical. Quick 30 minute phone calls
