I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Austin, TX) in Aug 2024
Interview
One of the interviews was a fundamental mechanical engineering written test. It is not a hard test, very basic questions.
I cannot share the test, because it is not allowed.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
really bad interview process. Recruiter never gets back after multiple rounds of interviews with no kind of feedback. Interviewer seems really good during the interview and questions are relevant to the role. No expected timeline given at the starting which makes it worse.
