I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Reno, NV)
Interview
Recruters were super nice at the beginning! The process was not easy, three phone interviews then onsite personal interview.... technical test then 30 min presentation (who talked about their work during the presentation) and right after 5 back to back 30min interviews. Recruters said they will get in contact to review the results but received only one noreply standard email 'thank you for applying and so on', and recruiters never replied to my emails because it would be just nice to get a short feedback. Otherwise it was very interesting and challenging experience.
The panel interview combined with a presentation feels like a lot to handle at once, so I would appreciate the opportunity to have more time or flexibility to better prepare and perform well.
