I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
They reached out a week after applying and scheduled a phone call then the actual interview. The actual interview was scheduled on webcam. They finally reached out 2 months later to tell me I didn't get the position
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you want to work at Tesla?
Tell me more about xxx experience you had at xxx.
What was the hardest/most challenging thing you ever had to solve?
2 rounds. both with one engineer. very resume review and technical question heavy. Asked a lot of typical materials and beam deflection/stress-strain questions. Try to answer confidently as best as possible. Passed first round but second round threw me off and wasnt as confident.
1. Fill a form for HR
2. First round with one team member
3. Second round with one team lead
Both interviews had similar technical and behavioral questions as content
1 screen phone call, 2 technical interviews, offer, seems process differs heavily between teams, some teams less interviews but mostly similar to this process. recruiter reaches out first, coordinates all the calls with members of the team
