I applied through other source. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
team manager reached out to see if I was interested, connected me to a recruiter, then after that process seemed pretty standard for a large company (resume to team, tech call, on site), but the recruiter call was annoying enough to where it doesn't make me want to continue the process. He called 10 minutes behind schedule with no warning, speed read off descriptions of the team/company work, and very specifically wanted to know my GPA, which I didn't remember since it's been several years since I've graduated
