I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2011
Interview
Multiple phone interviews with: college programs manager, prospective mentors, team manager, and finally the department director. Questions were generally about background and work interests, but varied depending on the interviewer.

Question 1
Why did you study mechanical engineering rather than a specialized discipline like automotive engineering?
Very Speedy, very technical, and they asked majority of the thing on my resume. They wanted me to also talk about my experiance in a certain skill I had put down, mainly because of the fact that the job was based aroudn this one skills, and because of that I had so much to talk about.
I applied online and got a email for an interview. The interview is conducted via Teams and there would be two interviewers that will questions you. The interview lasted for about 45 mins.
