I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla in Jan 2025
Interview
I got the email with test assessment link in 2 weeks after application. It was 90 min test with SQL, C#, Python and ISTQB questions of not easy level. I should spent 90 min (+ preparation , + relax after) when I still didn't discuss visa sponsorship, salary and other aspects of the role. I didn't pass this test because I am not good with C# and Python (a bit weird they suggested me this test when I don't have anything about these languages in my CV)
Friendly interview. I felt very welcome and encouraged by the team. There was a presentation held by a manager about the current projects. Technical questions should be easy for someone freshly out of college. They were theoretical.
The interview process was quite comprehensive and covered a wide range of technical topics. Many of the questions focused on embedded systems, circuit design, and VLSI concepts. There were also some problem-solving scenarios to test analytical thinking.

Question 1
How would you design a test plan for verifying a new VLSI chip’s functionality?

Interview
Interviewer seemed friendly, I felt like interview went okay but got instantly rejected right after, The interviewer asked a few basic resume questions (what was your biggest challenge? debugging process?) as well as whiteboarding one of my projects. Some technical questions at the end
