I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (San Jose, CA) in Mar 2021
Interview
Very clear interview instructions and professional interview process.
I interviewed with one of the senior data scientists in Tesla. We talk for like one hour. During the conversation, I can feel his kindness towards young people. He didn’t just interview me for the position. He taught me one of the most important characteristics that a data science needs: curiosity.
HR -> Take home challenge -> HM video interview -> onsite interview -> VP phone interview
HR is super supportive. Interviewers are professional. The interview schedule is quick. Overall experience is quite nice.
