I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Blue Origin
Interview
Applied online, heard back within a week, talked to HR about the company, they asked what I currently do etc. They really hyped up Jeff Bezos, thought that was a bit out of scope considering Seattle isn't his biggest fan. As a former SpaceX employee they made a subjective comment "our CEO has always had a passion for space exploration, unlike another billionaire who started a rocket company because he thought it would be cool." I can only imagine this was directed at Elon, anyways I went with it and setup a phone interview the following week. Got a call almost 10mins later than the scheduled time, and was asked "what do you want to do: Firmware, Hardware, PCB, RF ..?" from there I was quizzed on designs I had shared .... seemed like they were too busy and didn't prepare for the interview.
I got hung up on a fundamental concept I hadn't seen in a while, interview was 50mins, was then told, "you'll hear back from us tomorrow" ...I proceeded to ask what happens next if I am selected. Interviewer seemed almost reluctant to tell me, but stated it would be an onsite interview with the team. Got a call the next morning stating "we are going to pass on you" .....
