I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Sep 2015
Interview
Was contacted by an HR professional who handled by application. HR sets up the interviews and I had 3 phone calls before being offered the internship. Was not asked technical questions, interview was more focused on personality, what you could bring to the team, and aptitude. Overall great experience.
The interview started off with the interviewer asking a few behavioral questions, with the majority of the interview consisted of technical questions about engineering fundamentals and applying them to scenarios

I applied online, and a recruiter reached out a few months later to set up my first interview with a Team Lead. It went well so I moved onto the second interview with the Team Manager. Both interviews were extremely technical and they grilled you on your projects.
