      Technician Interview

      Jul 25, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Costa Mesa, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Costa Mesa, CA) in Jun 2018

      Interview

      Ridiculously long process multiple phone screens, multiple in person interviews concluded with a 3 person panel interview by seemingly uninterested managers. Multiple recruiters responsible for sending emails and interview confirmations makes communication aggravating. Throughout my process I met and interviewed with 5 different managers across 3 departments, all the same with the exception of two who were far more down to earth and less egotistical. Little to know interest in my background or skills attained through my previous careers, all 3 interviewers displayed cynical expressions at times during my responses to questions. My perception was they couldn't appreciate that I could relate to what they called "challenges" for their respected departments. They pushed the start up mentality and the challenges that come with that but didn't seem to care that my last occupation was with a fast growing start up. Overall this leaves me with some disdain for Tesla, all my interactions with employees via phone or in person at Tesla locations everyone comes across very average but managers will tell you otherwise. During my tour of a service center I saw technicians eating donuts while working on cars, service concierge conversing in groups huddled around cell phones and service advisors scrolling the internet between customers who are more than willing to point you in the right direction and never leave their chair.

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Dubai) in Jul 2025

      Interview

      A Tesla interview is fast-paced, technical, and focused on innovation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of their field. The process often includes multiple rounds, such as phone screens, technical interviews, and a final panel or on-site session. Interviewers value first-principles thinking and alignment with Tesla’s mission. Passion, self-motivation, and the ability to work under pressure are key traits they look for.
