Interview
International candidate. The process was slow, Approximately 2 weeks between each step. Phone interview with recruiter, phone interview with hiring manager and then two Skype interviews with team members. At this point, they flew me in for an on sight interview. Everybody was very nice and helpful throughout the process, they are willing to work hard to collect the best talent from around the world. The relocation package is excellent. Apparently, I passed all the interviews but when my file was passed on to Elon Musk to be approved, I was rejected.

Interview
One introductory phone interview with recruiter, and two technical phone interviews with team members. All of the questions were fair and pertinent to the position, but not easy. Be sure to review engineering fundamentals that you feel will be relevant to the role you're interviewing for, and to know how your experience can relate to the role.
