I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Nov 2018
Interview
Take-home coding challenge => 45 min phone interview with potential team, mine was half technical half behavioral => 20 minute phone call with potential manager (seemed like a culture fit call). The process moved very quickly and the recruiter was very quick and helpful. There are very few companies I would want to intern at over Tesla, and I was fortunate enough to receive an offer from one and could not take the position at Tesla.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
Two round code interview. The first round is Leetcode, one medium one hard. The second round is full stack. You need to write a full stack website. No any BQ.
Resume review into leetcode medium problem. Did not get to the onsite and interviewer mostly let me run through the problem by myself. Be sure to know your DSA, recruiter was very nice during the process
