Overall, the process was needlessly lengthy and not transparent. It sometimes took several email pings to ensure things were progressing. Nearly two months passed in total to get through the offsite interview process.

After answering the recruiting email, we planned an introduction call with the recruiter.

Next were technical screens with Tesla engineers, covering general software algorithms.

A week later, I was given a "coding challenge," constructing a full software solution that is supposed to take around three hours to implement.

I moved on to another technical phone screen, similar to the first.

One week later, they passed on the application.

What is a challenging aspect of a previous problem you worked on?
