Process
The initial screening was first. I was reached out by a recruiter, then for the interview process, a Zoom link was shared. The interviewer was late by 15 minutes. He didn't turn on his camera and directly started the coding round.

Senior Java/J2EE Developer • Former Employee

Pros: They follow pure Agile practices. Directors and tech leads are always supportive. Everyone works at a pace of 200% with self-motivation. If you're planning to have a productive day, this is where you go.
Cons: As a contractor, I expect to be paid for extra hours I work, but that's not the case with Tesla. Initially, they promised C2H. Turns out there are a lot of people like me who are stuck in contracts for more than a year.
