I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Was reached out for an interview by a recruiter from Tesla via Linkedin
Round 1: Codility Questions
Phone round: basic-calculator-ii
The process was nice and I was able to come up with a solution but I had to take some hints to solve this and I was following a more intuitive approach to the solution(didn't use stacks) which took a lot of time. The recruiter called to give the feedback which was a very nice gesture in my opinion. The feedback was basically I could have done it faster and that I took some hints to finish the exercise.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode questions. 1: no three consecutive characters are same 2: Calculator 2 standard leetcode question with some tweeks.
3 45 min rounds virtual, mix of technical data structures and algorithms style questions and behavioral questions. Around leetcode medium difficulty, strings and array based. Short talk about what the team does.
2 Technical Coding Screen, followed by onsite. Interesting problems and role related. Friendly recruiting coordinator. On site - in person, several rounds, includes presentation and question & answers. Highly role related and based on past experiences.
Remembering the coding question about finding a peak element gives me a sense of relief. It was nearly the same as one I had practiced on PracHub a few days prior. The interview process began with a recruiter screening my resume, followed by a technical phone interview where we discussed data structures and algorithms. The onsite included two additional rounds focusing on coding and behavioral questions. Overall, the experience was straightforward, and I felt well-prepared, ultimately leading to an offer that I happily accepted.
