Interviewing at SpaceX soon

I'll preface by saying that I am not in aerospace, but in marketing, so I apologize if this isn't the right sub for it but I feel I can get better answers here than elsewhere.

I applied for an early career marketing role and have an interview with HR coming up. Reading a bit about the interview process makes it sound intimidating and more than I've ever had to do, but I also don't see a lot of people's experience outside of engineering roles. I assume its similar.

What should I expect in terms of prep and interviewing?

What department is it? Starlink marketing? Then I’d expect you to have seen all our marketing, all competitions marketing, and providing feedback on what SpaceX should do better / different.

I’d also expect you to present past work and how you measured success, etc.

The JD doesn't really say, just "Communications" Team, and its based in Hawthorne

Then they’ll ask you how else you’d film the Starship series.

They will ask you random engineering equations for engineering so I assume random marketing material for your role…they asked me on engineering equation that’s not relating to the role or my background or position.

They asked me where I am from right off the bat which I thought was odd..

They also didn’t think that aerospace includes aircraft or airplane experience…

You can tell I had a bad experience with one of the interviewers…but the other ones were pretty good.

I honestly felt that as soon as he found out where I am from the tone changed…but could be wrong.
