A connection from my university introduced me to a team member at Tesla, leading to an interview opportunity. The process included a technical phone screen followed by an onsite round where I faced a challenging anomaly detection question about vehicle sensor data. Interestingly, I had practiced a similar scenario on PracHub just a week prior, making the technical discussion feel familiar. While I received an offer, I ultimately declined due to personal reasons. Overall, it was a tough, yet insightful experience that pushed my skills to the limit.

Entrevista
This was a phone Interview. The interview was supposed to be with 2 people - but they forgot to do a conference call and each of them ended up calling me individually. I put both of them on conference on my phone and proceeded. It went pretty well, asked about my experience, a few SQL questions, a few python questions and one question on the remanufacturing data - something like an on the spot case study. After the interview felt good and positive about it, however - a week went by , 2 weeks went by - and despite mailing the HR twice, no on bothered to get back and atleast inform about the reject.
I found the staff and the process highly unprofessional.

Case study related question about remanufacturing data - and how one can ensure if a part that has been gotten back for remanufacture should not defect again - using the data
The interview process included an initial application submission, a recruiter screening call, a technical interview focused on coding and problem solving, and a final round discussing experience, teamwork, and fit for the role.
This is strictly online, with no in-person components at all. The questions are fairly simple and straightforward. I previously completed a typing test and several other online "exams" to take as part of the process.
