I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Nov 2017
Interview
Called a call from a recruiter about a job offer from Tesla. First step was the phone interview. Next step was a personality assessment test (bs it and you’ll pass). This was about a week after the phone interview. About 2 and half weeks was an interview with the supervisor of the department you’re going to be working at. Pretty easy interview, they ask you the basic questions. For example, why tesla, 3 words to describe tesla, what do you know about tesla, tell me about yourself, how are you a problem solver, ect. Once you pass the interview with the supervisor, you’ll be taken to a room to fill out your previous employment history. After that is done, they will give you 2 days to take a drug test. I thought i did everything well, but never got a reply from them, it has been two weeks since my last interview. Not even an email to reject me. I rather be told i didnt get the job instead of waiting for then to reply. So call professionals, but goodluck to everyone applying.
I came in as a temporary employee they hired me and didn't bother to interview me. They just need bodies they dont care if you have talents. It took over two months to go through the employment process. I wanted to take the drug test that day. I have a slight visual disability and couldn't figure out where they were sending the drug test paper that was required. I went to the office 8 days in a row, they threatened to fire me twice. Finally the man I went to everyday said they're right over there go talk to them. I got my paper with the bar code for the testing clinic and the woman said they were giving me a special priveledge (because I complained to my boss) and threatened to fire me a third time if I didn't get the test I would have taken on day one.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (State College, PA) in Jan 2017
Interview
The engineer reached out to me and asked for my availability for a spring internship, I sent the resume to him and the HR helped us to set up an interview.
