The interview process was really fair and didn't take too long. There were three rounds in total, and they were mostly technical. Everyone was super professional and respectful, making it easy to get along with. I didn't feel any pressure and didn't have too much trouble during the interviews.

Behavioral Technical
Shortly after applying, I had an online interview with three people, with three 30-minute interviews back-to-back. It felt good and they asked some good questions about my experience. They mentioned there are three areas of expertise for the job and everyone comes in with one and learns the others. It was clear I had strong experience in two of the three areas, and they seemed impressed. I had to ask a couple different people to find out what's going on with the position and the timeline, and then was told that although my experience is impressive, the team decided to go with another candidate. This is the second time this has happened with Virgin Orbit. I'm not sure what criteria they're using, but I'm done with this company.

Applied in October. HR reached out in March for a phone screen for a different role than I applied for. The phone screen was with two engineers, and they mostly asked about my resume, projects, and extracurriculars. The process was laid-back and conversational.
