I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Berlin) in Feb 2022
Interview
The interview process consisted of the following stages:
1) screening with HR
2) coding task
3) 2 technical interview with presentation
Technical interview were fairly challenging but I enjoyed the process. Questions about statistics, data science, your experience, some behavioural questions, system design.
The only minus is that there was no really a chance to meet the team.
The hiring process was a disaster. First of all, HR (located in the same timezone) answers the emails super late after hours which is already a huge red flag for me. After the final interview I had to wait more than a month for the final decision. Due to the other pending offers I reminded of my existence a couple of times and was promised to get an answer soon with a hint that they have a positive feedback. In the end got not even a personalised email from HR but a rejection email template which completely ruined the impression of the company.
The interview process included an initial application submission, a recruiter screening call, a technical interview focused on coding and problem solving, and a final round discussing experience, teamwork, and fit for the role.
This is strictly online, with no in-person components at all. The questions are fairly simple and straightforward. I previously completed a typing test and several other online "exams" to take as part of the process.
A bit chaotic because the interviewer was constantly switching rooms and ended up doing the interview somewhere on the floor with his laptop on his lap. And also they seem to really want to know how much you are prepared to do "extra".
