I applied through other source. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2014
Interview
I had 6 Long interviews for relevant jobs and they all took at least 2-4 hrs each time. In some of these interviews I had to meet with multiple teams that actually would not even be my direct coworkers in order to see if i was a good fit. Needless to say I ended up getting a different job 6 months later and was hired over the phone without a onsite interview
Applied online, and received an email from HR saying they are interested to learn more about my experiences. After the phone call with HR, she setup a technical interview with one of a engineer manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
He asked the technical aspects regarding one of my past project
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla in Feb 2017
Interview
The interview called me at 11 pm without any prior notice. Said working for Tesla is supposed to be demanding so I should be ready for an interview at all hours. Was very hard to understand him over the phone and he was very vague about the role and location. I am still not clear which position/location he was interviewing me for. Expected me to know everything about what Tesla does and how I fit into the company. Asked me some general questions about my current job. This was followed by some technical questions related to Tesla. Needless to say this interview caught me off guard and I performed poorly. I would recommend researching what the company does and being clear on what interview time suits you.
