First HR, then phone screen which is trivia style questions on C++ , OOP, DS & Algorithms. Following that coding test at home, must be completed within 8 continuous hrs. Not allowed to use C++ STL containers. The first 60-90 minutes of this test you can communicate with the "proctor" by email, and you should use this period to clarify the question, communicate your intended solution before starting coding and get feedback. My "proctor" was helpful. After that, onsite interview, which is virtual right now. 25 minutes presentation to the team on a project you worked on, followed by Q&A. None of the team used their video camera (although I used mine), which created a cold experience. After that there were about 3 technical interviews centered around different design aspects. Questions were ambiguous. The session with the hiring manager focused on behavioral questions. After two days HR called to tell I did not pass and provided some feedback.

They moved quick and it was a streamlined interview process. One screen phone call and two video calls. There was an opportunity to send a sample of past presentations I gave and it was forwarded, and well received. The hiring manager and HR were fine. This place is 150% hype with a regular level of benefits and pay for this area. The third interviewer was fake, bias, and not professional at all. All interviews went well. They rejected me two days later. They only want foreigners for those higher positions and California is the land of foreigners. The feedback was illogical and ridiculous. Essentially, it said we need a person to setup and manage a software (which I have 15 years of experience in), but we don't have a position open for that software and we don't have a need. The position I just interviewed for is an open position involving that software they complained about.

First step is a recruiter call with some typical background questions, followed by a fairly difficult, timed take home assessment, and then finally a 5 part on-site interview session which included a presentation to the entire team you'd be working with.

Me postulé a través de un reclutador. El proceso tomó 3 semanas. Acudí a una entrevista en SpaceX (Redmond, WA) en mar 2024
Entrevista
A recruiter contacted me. We had a phone call, then a call with a lead SWE. Then was given a take home test that is supposed to take 2-4 hours, took me about 2.5 hours. After submitting, a SWE reviews your submission and you then get invited to the on-site. I was invited for the on-site but I declined to continue the process further; just not the right time for me to move companies.
