I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (San Francisco, CA) in Nov 2020
Interview
Wasted my time, schedule a phone interview and only lasted 5 mins. The recruiter didn't even try to get to know me or ask about my background. Literally asked 2 questions and rushed to the job description. No effort from the recruiter whatsoever. Idk if they already filled the position and just went through with the call as a formality, but a simple email saying that positions are filled would've sufficed. Calling me and then asking me some half-assed lazy interview questions was a slap to my face.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla (Buffalo, NY)
Interview
There was a recruiter who prepped me for the interview over the phone. She gave tricks and tips and then Tesla called me over video call. They generally did as she predicted and then gave me a website to do a trial test on. After I submitted, they called in two days to give an offer.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Draper, UT) in Jun 2024

All done virtually. Recruiter from out of state reached out, a time sensitive Matching Game Assessment was then scheduled. Upon passing that did a virtual interview with someone in Buffalo, NY and had to do the screen shared typing and computer skills assessment at the end of the interview
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Dec 2023
Interview
I was contacted directly on Indeed by a recruiter [always a good sign, it goes much better than when I contact them!]
I took some tests, did well enough to make to the next round, and was hired, was told it was unanimous to decide.
I can't give out details due to NDA, but it was a great interview!
