Anonymous Employee in Oxnard Shores, CA
I applied through an employee referral The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at SolarCity (Oxnard Shores, CA) in Nov 2017
I applied through an employee referral and had a phone interview the next day with a regional recruiter. Nothing intimidating, he just explained the expectations of the role, compensation and an overview of my resume. I went through to the next round and had a video interview with the head recruiter for the region I would be working in. Very relaxed interview, same as the first, except its best to show your personality and passion for the position during this time. 4 days later, I got an offer.
