I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
It was a phone interview, and it took 1 hour. They asked me a question about generating all permutation of letters from all the 7-digit phone numbers that can be pressed from a phone's keypad. I tried a recursive solution to generate all the words. After that they asked usual questions about efficiency.
