Started off with an online interview with the hiring manager. The beginning is just introductions. After your introduction they transition into a system design problem/situation, but this can depend on the hiring manager. For me it was setting up a data pipeline for a fleet of vehicles.

I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Feb 2025

First round was really easy. The engineer I spoke to was interested in me and was asking simple data structures questions. The person I spoke to in the second round didn't seem to acknowledge my presence and kept replying to texts on their laptop.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla (San Francisco, CA) in Jan 2020
Interview
Contacted By a Recruiter by email, the interview was by phone with the manager of the team. the questions were mostly about my background and experience and I had to give detailed explanation about my experience.
