SpaceX interview question

basically the test was a high school, entry level modest C set of 3-5 lines long questions, all in almost K&R meant to test if you knew that local variables are not initialized, to see if a for goes beyond nSize - 1, that being given a pointer you can access it using an array and other things of this sort. responses were automatically grilled (just like dmv office) and the so called "technical" recruiter was apparently computer illiterate

Going back to my job at their competitor (very loose term, very different sized rocket) it is valuable information to us to know how sloppy their engineering and analysis is.

i would strongly recommend, if you have decades of experience, advanced degrees, love and believe in Stroustrup view of idiotic C Programming Language, if you like C++, STL, Boost, etc. do not waste your time with these gentlemen at spacex. they are not about transportation (see tesla) nor about our journey to space. think about it. hope this helps serious software engineers save time
