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.

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
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.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you design a test plan for verifying a new VLSI chip’s functionality?
