I applied through university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at SpaceX (Los Angeles, CA) in Jun 2015
Interview
Short phone call interview ~15 minutes; pretty much just went through my resume and asked me to talk about and explain my projects/extracurriculars. Interview went well but higher-ups decided that they did not need an additional intern.

Question 1
Could you elaborate more on how you did _____?
What are you looking forward to learning at SpaceX?
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.
