I applied through university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX in Oct 2012
Interview
Waited in line at career fair, heard back in one to two weeks via email about technical phone interview in about a week. Did my 30 minute phone interview and received a call that night saying that I had received an offer.

Question 1
My questions were all based on my experience, I didn't find any of them to be particularly difficult.
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.
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

Question 1
Which pillar in a rigid structure bears the most weight?
Very simple questions, but very specific to the role. There were multiple rounds, and each round was different. Again, very specific to the role and i was rejected for one position, then my former interviews were used to determine my qualification for a different position.
