I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2019
Interview
I had a phone call with recruiter, who matched me with team that was interested in my resume. I then had a 1:1 with team lead, coderpad and videocall. 2 more rounds of coderpad and videocall with other people.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Burlington, VT) in Mar 2021
Interview
The whole thing was done very quickly which I'm guessing isn't always the case, took about a week from phone screen to informal offer, another week for offer letter.
1) Phone call with recruiter
2) Take home technical, easy/medium questions
3) Live technical, probably another medium
4) Final live technical, one section with hiring manager for
behavioral/ team fit questions
