Phone pre-screen coding challenge.

Three LeetCode-style questions were given.

I was not given a chance to re-take because I didn't finish the last question.

Post-code challenge, there was a code review where I had to explain my answers/solutions.

Next were three hours of "panel" interviews.

This was broken into two 90-minute sessions, with 45 minutes allocated to each interviewer.

The first session was a conversation.

Questions 2-4 included coding challenges, SQL, Linq, and modeling a file system using C# entities (inheritance).

I was a bit slow with my answers and solutions, so I can see why they said "not now."

I'll try again in six months.

Why Tesla?

Can you handle actually working hard?

Explain what you know about C#.
