I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Redmond, WA) in Dec 2023
Interview
1) Recruiter Phone Screening (20 mins)
- Basic phone screen, nothing special
2) Take Home Assessment (4 hours)
- Difficult algorithms problem with flexible language options, (C++, Python, TypeScript, C#) evaluated based on test coverage, runtime complexity, and code style
Basic questions about python vs c++, am I authorized to work in the US, stack vs heap, projects and my experience mentioned in my resume, quick introduction about myself and why i wish to work at spacex.
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?
