Why do you want to work at Tesla?
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Jul 2020
Interview
Was Initially contacted by an HR 3 weeks after I applied online (not sure if the ONLY reason was due to my online app since I also cold messaged a couple recruiters). Scheduled a 30min video interview with the engineering manager who seemed to care about my previous experiences that related to the position and how I thought I could fit in. The interview was completely nontechnical. It felt more like a casual conversation and was kept fairly unstructured as the highlights of the interview didn’t revolve around the initial “interview questions” I was asked, but where I took them in the conversation. I found it helpful to review my resume experiences prior so I could “quick draw” specific examples from my projects on the fly that demonstrated how I think and showed my ability to technically fit into the position without having to be explicitly asked. And make sure the interviewer knows you’re in love with the Tesla culture. I received an offer a week later.
