I applied to the data scientist position at Tesla. It was a very difficult process. I applied in early february and heard back 2 months later. They had rejected my application. Whatte Sad.
I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
10 step process: phone screen, technical, 48 hour take-home, technical, then virtual on-site. On-site requires preparing slides for a 30 minute presentation, followed by 5 back to back interviews most of which are technical. The whole process took over 4 months. In the end, I was never given a decision as the recruiters decided to ghost me after the final round. Don't waste your time, apply elsewhere.
First had a phone screen with a technical recruiter. After that, I had a 45-minute video call with the Hiring Manager. I did not make it to the next step.
