Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Fremont, California
Process
Had a good 4-hour interview at Tesla onsite. All employees there are really experienced.
It's a very fast-paced company with technically good backgrounds.
I arrived at 2 pm and left by 6 pm.
I was expecting an offer, but at the last minute, I learned it was not going to be released for me. I have no idea why.
Questions
mostly about technical and business.
