Coding System Design Behavioral Technical

So the whole process started with a recruiter chat to see if I was a good fit and interested. After that, there was a tech phone screen with some coding problems, like LeetCode medium/hard, and system design or past projects talk. Then, if all went well, I had a virtual or onsite loop, which was like 3 to 5 rounds. These rounds were focused on coding, system design, and behavioral stuff. Some parts involved live coding and questions about low-level stuff, making things faster, and engineering challenges specific to Tesla. They really looked at how I solve problems, code efficiently, and communicate. It was pretty tough, honestly, with a big emphasis on being technically skilled and fitting into Tesla's fast and impactful culture.

My interviews took place over five days. I chatted with HR and the hiring manager for the initial screening. I asked the screener, who was the hiring manager, about the interviewers' personalities to get a better sense of what to expect. I got the offer the following week.
