I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2012
Interview
First phone interview was a quick gloss-over of my resume, second was an actual engineer. The engineer was very quick and straightforward, wanted to know what I knew about Tesla and cars in general. I didn't think I was given a full opportunity to "strut my stuff," but Tesla is looking for people who were on vehicle teams all 4 years, so they know their market and interview accordingly.
Invited me to an interview then ghosted me after I gave availability. They never scheduled the interview. When I followed up, the recruiter didn’t responded to my email. Not sure what happened
My interview was scheduled for about five days after the initial email from my recruiter. It was two 30 minute interviews with members of the prospective team. Standard questions were asked about me, my experiences, and why I think I am a good fit for the role.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How do you respond when members of your team tell you they don’t have time for you?
1 technical interview followed by a recruiter call if you get the offer. The process was very fast and very simple. Highly recommend applying. The technical interview was amazing, and the interviewer was very understanding if i did not get the answer.
