Process
Two rounds of typical software engineering coding questions.
Both interviewers were unfriendly. The second interviewer refused to give any collaboration, besides saying "think about all the data structures and algorithms you know" and looking off-screen the entire time.
I've done a lot of LeetCode-style interviews, and Tesla, by far, was the least friendly experience. This says a lot about your potential "colleagues".
Don't waste your time interviewing with people that are jerks.
