I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
One coding round and one ML engineering round. There were two coding questions and both were not leetcode styled. The first question revolved around designing a custom decorator in python. The second focussed on pulling data seperately from an API and a SQL server, and then joining them to perform some operations using pandas.
