I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
A HR called and explained the complete process. There were 2 rounds of technical interview, one with the Engineering senior and the other with engineering manager it was to be concluded with final rounds of negotiation talks
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla in Jun 2020
Interview
First round is the hiring manager phone screen, if this goes well, then followed by an engineering test, which needs to be done in 48h, if this goes well, and then there is another staff engineer phone screen
Interviewer showed up late and was not in a quite place. There was background noise the entire time. Was very rude during the interview and kept interrupting me. Overall tone was unpleasant and clearly did not respect my time.
