I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
The HR team was very responsive, and I received a reply within 2-3 days. The interview process included one phone screen with HR, followed by two rounds of phone interviews with team members, and concluding with a final round interview with the entire team.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (New York, NY) in Jan 2024
Interview
The whole process took about 3 months:

4. Video calls with two team members
5. Panel presentation, followed by 5 separate interviews with attendees (same day)
6. Video call with department head
7. Writing assignment (evidence of excellence)
8. Short call with hiring manager to discuss outstanding questions
9. Background check
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why Tesla, leadership approach and experience, a lot of technical questions about the role
Interviewer was sick and we had communication (internet) issues. It was hard to hear. I wish they rescheduled the interview. Hopefully, next interview is better. Even though the questions were easy, the reduced volume hurt the whole process.
