I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Aug 2025
Interview
Two interviews being one with the manager and then another being with another person on the team. Each interview consisted of general question that usually come up with internship and then questions on knowledge of the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How did you overcome a conflict at your previous employer.
Initial screening with recruiter then a phone screening with team manager. Final panel interview that lasted 3.5 hours with a break in between. Did a presentation in the beginning of the panel interview with a Q&A afterwards.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla in May 2023
Interview
Initial call with recruiter, followed by virtual interview with hiring manager Hiring manager interview was to be 30 mins.. was only 10 minutes. HM was 5 minutes late and clearly didn’t not want to be there. Took interview from desk. Open floor plan so ppl were walking by and talking during interview. Horrible experience, manager, and no contact from recruiter after interview. Recruiting did not respond to my follow up email. Terrible candidate experience.
