I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
The process started with me getting a call through employee referral. They called me four times to go through all of the telephonic screens. Once the screens were complete hey had me come on site to meet with the people there, make a presentation and go through four more interviews. I had fun going through the process as people were very friendly.
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.
