Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto 2 settimane. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) nel mese di mag 2016
Colloquio
I applied online and heard back incredibly quickly (couple weeks maybe), which I was impressed by. Then came a couple phone interviews, one with HR and one technical with some existing engineers. Then they flew me out and put me up in a pretty nice hotel, all expenses paid. Once there, I gave a short presentation on my background, which was followed by a one on one interview with each member of the group to which I presented. These had questions ranging from practical application questions ("how would you solve this problem") to personality/character questions, and lasted a few hours.
Up until this point I was pretty happy, until I let on that I wasn't sure about 50-60 hour work weeks (something I had not heard quoted to me prior to getting there, aside from hearsay. Also, I'd probably be more okay with it if not for being in LA, where you seem to be guaranteed a long commute no matter what you do), at which point they basically flashed me the middle finger.
Domande di colloquio [1]
Domanda 1
"technicians are drilling a series of holes going around the fuselage, which you find to be out of spec in a certain pattern, what do you think might be the cause, and what would a solution be" (pattern changes as they walk through different possible causes, anything from tool wear to differences in operators by time of drilling, etc)

Colloquio
I completed the initial 20- 30-minute call. This did not have any technical questions. I provided my portfolio and explained how certain projects fit this role. I was given the next interview and set up a time at the end of this call.

Colloquio
Got reached out to by a recruiter on LinkedIn. Setting up an interview time was easy. The first interview screening was basically describing your past experiences. The second interview is technical. Whole process took a week.
