I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
I met a manufacturing engineer at a professional meeting, and later contacted him by email. He interviewed me over the phone, and I then interviewed his manager and the VP in two separate phone calls. The first interview was a mix of specific technical and personal questions, the second was quite relaxed, and the third involved general technical questions.

Question 1
What was a challenge in your work that you faced and couldn't solve? How would you go about solving it now?
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.
