Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso SpaceX (Hawthorne, CA) nel mese di ago 2023
Colloquio
Applied to several positions online, recruiter reached out several weeks later about a different position. Positions listed online are unrelated to what they're actually hiring for. Spoke with the recruiter on the phone, took an at-home technical test several days later, phone interview with an engineer the next week. The next step would be an on-site, but at this point I was ghosted. I fumbled some basic questions in the phone interview so I understand why they wouldn't want to hire me, but disappointing to be ghosted. Overall workplace vibes seem very bro-y, not particularly smart, and unprofessional. 0/10 would not recommend.

Technical test: - Toy starlink beam planner problem. Find a maximum coverage pairing of satellites and users given some constraints on the angle of each beam, number of users each satellite can connect with, etc. Actually a pretty good interview question: you can use the language of your choice and have up to 4 hours to complete it. Phone interview: - What's a project you have worked on - How did you make decisions in a team - What's an interesting bug you found and how did you fix it - What does a linked list look like in memory

Colloquio
recruiter screen (confirm us citizenship, talk about your backgorund, dive into a personal project you worked on, why spacex and why SWE) -> take home OA -> in depth behavioral/system design -> on-site.

Passed the behavioral section, was friendly and easy.
The tech assessment was above average difficulty, with a
question involving data structures and confirming if conditions are met for satellite connectivity.

Easy Behavioral Questions (Tell me about yourself)
First round was a phone screening very quick and painless, the second round was a coding assessment (take home times 2 hr project), the third round was a behavioral where they dove into a specific project

Why starlink? Why SpaceX? What project are you most proud of?
