Hi everyone,

I have an upcoming interview for the Sr. Software Engineer, FinTech role at Tesla. My first technical round is scheduled for 45 minutes, and the recruiter mentioned it would be a system design round.

I was a little surprised because in many companies I have usually seen the first technical round start with coding, followed by system design in later rounds.

Has anyone interviewed for this role or a similar Tesla software engineering role recently? What was the interview process like? Was the first round actually system design, coding, behavioral, or a mix?

Any guidance on what to expect or how to prepare would be really helpful.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I have a behavioral round with the Hiring Manager next week for an SMTS role, and I wanted to understand what kind of questions I should prepare for.

I have 5+ years of experience as a Software Development Engineer, mostly at a FAANG company, working primarily on backend/distributed systems.

Has anyone recently interviewed for an SMTS role and gone through the behavioral/HM round? What topics or types of questions were emphasized?

Thanks in advance!
