Question 1
Tabular data is given for multiple tables. Derive results Why Tesla? Why did you leave your previous teams
The interview process was technically challenging and demanding. Prepare for behavioral questions using the STAR format and add a personal touch. Technical round questions are likely available online.To ace the behavioral questions, really drill down on your past experiences. Don't just say you're a team player; give a specific example using the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) where you demonstrated teamwork. Frame it in a way that showcases your personality. Maybe you cracked a joke that diffused a tense situation, or you went the extra mile to mentor a junior colleague. Those personal touches make you memorable. As for the technical rounds, yeah, you'll probably find similar questions floating around on Glassdoor or LeetCode. Knowing the common questions is half the battle.
The entire process for internship recruiting was pretty easy and straightforward. I had one round of interview, totaling in 1 hour. I was tested for SQL questions for about 30 minutes, but questions were generally on the easier side.
