Not too long, not too short, moderate length
Online
Asked about my educational background, hobbies
Why did i choose my major, basic questions about my major
academics, personality, character, and among other things too
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Draper, UT) in Sep 2021
Interview
Phone pre screen
Coding Challenge. 3 LeetCode style
given a chance to re-take because I didn't finish the last question
post Code challenge code review, explain your answers/ solutions.
Next is 3 hours worth of "panel" interviews
Was able to break into 2 * 90 minute sessions
with 45 minutes for each person interviewing.
First was just a conversation.
2-4 were coding challenges, SQL, did some Linq, then modeled out a file system using C# entities (inheritance)
I was a bit slow in my answers and solutions so I can see why they said "not now"
So, I guess I'll try again in 6 months.

Interview
First coding challenge, then phone screen, then onsite interview plus a presentation.
HR ghosted from time to time, and was also very pushy and unprofessional.
Onsite interview needs a presentation and HR emphasis it must be state-of-art and get most detail possible. Sounds fishy and feel like they want to steal IP.
Some onsite interviewers are very disrespectful and rude. Asked non-inspiring easy technical questions but extremely nit-picking.
Rejected and kicked out in the middle of onsite interview. HR claims that "they are too busy to waste time". So think twice before you apply.
