I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Jun 2023
Interview
The process usually begins with submitting an online application through Tesla's careers website. Ensure that your resume and cover letter highlight relevant skills and experiences. If your application is shortlisted, a recruiter may contact you for an initial screening interview. This may be done over the phone or through video conferencing. The recruiter will likely discuss your background, skills, and interest in the role.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
did an online panel interview with 6 people, including your potential direct manager. They asked general questions about the industry, like handling stressful situations, multitasking, etc., but they also threw in some technical questions and dug into my resume. For example, they'd ask me to elaborate on specific points, and if I gave an answer, they followed up to see if I actually knew my stuff. It’s important to have 5-6 solid examples ready, use the STAR method to structure answers, and know how to pivot to answer questions that you have no previous experience in. You got this!
Really long process made it through 2 screening interviews then 2 manager reviews. Recruiter ended up just ghosting me never letting me know if I got the job or not. Obviously didn’t move on to the next step but I was never informed.
