I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX
Interview
First, I made a phone screening with an HR and she was very kind and helpful. After that, I solved a coding challenge that was enjoyable and a real-life scenario. They gave me 4 hours to complete the challenge. The next step was a phone screening with the project manager about my technical background. We had a conversation about the project I have worked on. Then, sadly, I learned that I could not pass the last interview.

Question 1
-Tell me one of the problems that you solved in one of your projects. How did you approach the problem and how did you solve it? Why did you choose that way for the solution? Would you use the same solution again if you face that problem again?
Recruiter screens usually hit: time/space complexity of common operations, why O(log n) beats O(n), array vs hash map vs linked list tradeoffs, and Big-O of sorting. Want me to drill you on these?
