      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesla (San Francisco, CA) in Jun 2021

      Interview

      After clearing the recruiter call and coding challenge, I got phone screen interview for 45 mins. Didn't explain the question or even give time for thinking and drawing out few examples. Wasn't interacting in the entire call, no communication so that both can work towards the problem.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I solved the question. Question was Diameter of a tree. Asked for the improvements expected in solution, according to them Solution was perfect. Got a reject moments later.

      Easy interview

      I interviewed at Tesla

      Interview

      Remembering the coding question about finding a peak element gives me a sense of relief. It was nearly the same as one I had practiced on PracHub a few days prior. The interview process began with a recruiter screening my resume, followed by a technical phone interview where we discussed data structures and algorithms. The onsite included two additional rounds focusing on coding and behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was straightforward, and I felt well-prepared, ultimately leading to an offer that I happily accepted.
