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.
I applied online. The process took 7 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Feb 2024
Interview
First round I met with a software engineer for technical screening. I passed this round and I was given an online assessment consisting of 5 coding questions that was supposed to be solved in C programming language. I passed this as well and there was another interview with another person from the team. I couldn't pass this round. I am not sure how many round there were after this one.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Implement atoi function in C (atoi is a function in C which converts ascii string to its equivalent integer values and returns the same, for e.g "123" -> 123, "123a" -> 123, "a123" -> 0)
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.
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.
