4 round of interview. 3 Technical and 1 non-technical round. Asked about the SQL Queries and about the project previously worked on. Some situation-based questions as well. The level of the interview was medium.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Berlin) in Oct 2025
Interview
It was a 10 minute initial interview
He just asked 3-4 questions quickly and expected short answers, as I think he was filtering candidates out with the initial interview.
the next steps would be 2 more technical interviews, but I did not make it to the next steps.

Interview
Series of a few interviews after you pass an online SQL exam. The first one started with HR getting a brief overview of you as a person, your background, and your experience. After that HR sets up your first interview with a hiring manager. The hiring manager interview easy and straightforward and mainly consisted of behavior questions (e.g how would you handle such a situation, or what is a strength/weakness). If you pass the interview round with the hiring manager, HR will set up another interview with an Engineer currently working as an Application Support Engineer. This interview is focused more on your technical skills and you will be asked SQL questions (e.g. list duplicates ina table, return the top 10 values of a table, etc).
