Very delayed response to emails throughout interview process. I was never able to finish the 1:1 interviews because one of the hiring managers was pulled into a meeting during the interview time and they never rescheduled (nor sent a courtesy email to say I was not selected) despite my attempts to reach out.
HR called me and asked some questions about my Cv. She proceeded to grill me on my resume and kept asking me why I did so many contract roles. This showed me how ignorant and close minded this company is; her attitude was beyond awful. HR had no self awareness and is likely turning off great candidates by their attitude. I Wouldn't want to work for a company that has rude and unprofessional HR reps. The salary on offer was incredibly low and I immediately withdrew my application.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
4x interviews: They just wanted to hear that I'll never try to go to another department and that I am in love with Tesla. Many times they tried to get me to say I'm looking to go somewhere else or get a new job. I said that I might eventually want to look into Human Resource jobs at Tesla Motors and for two days I was on the phone trying to convince them that I didn't mean it. They almost didn't give me the job. Still 1/3 people don't even stay in sales from what I see they've go one to other departments in the company.
