I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
The interview process was Long, disjointed, and not terribly informative—both for me and for them. They just don’t realize it. I found it to be 100% always about them, yet I never got the sense that they were any less lost than I was.
Very curt recruiter on the phone. Seemed like interrogation not interview. Would not recommend, felt like a toxic environment. Did not seem to have read my resume before meeting and not sure why they even called me back, seemed uninterested from hello.
