Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you approach this problem, knowing that a timeline is not going to be met, and communicate the requirements + success plan to your team as well as your management.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
3 30 min remote interviews, 1 30min presentation about one thing you have done and 6 30 min interviews on site. A very long process that makes it difficult to follow
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Multiple interview stages, the recruiters and hiring managers lack professional.
I got first video interview rescheduled 3 times not because of me because the hiring manager kept forgetting and missing about the interview.
This isn't the first time I interviewed for Tesla, same thing happened again when I interviewed for them 2 years ago for another position.

Question 1
About my current role at my current company.
Basic interview questions for the position I was interviewing
First round online interview with the hiring manager. Then onsite panel interview with five interviewers in the team. The online and in-person one both are technical. HR is not efficient. Every other employees seem to be pretty professional!
