I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Pittsburgh, PA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Apply on campus recruit, and is informed to be interviewed next day at campus. It's a normal interview, mainly asking me to tell the details about my resume. Didn't get the second round interview (technical). And the HR even forget to tell me the result.
Friendly interview. I felt very welcome and encouraged by the team. There was a presentation held by a manager about the current projects. Technical questions should be easy for someone freshly out of college. They were theoretical.
The interview process was quite comprehensive and covered a wide range of technical topics. Many of the questions focused on embedded systems, circuit design, and VLSI concepts. There were also some problem-solving scenarios to test analytical thinking.
