It was casual and informal. I found that the managers were not very focused and seemed to lack professionalism. I'd recommend asking them more questions about the position and what it can offer you. There will be alot of sales force

Question 1
Are you willing to work beyond normal businesses hours.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2015
Interview
Took several months to get in touch with me. Was referred by a current employee. Was pretty intimidated at first. Seemed very hectic and chaotic. Went through 3 stages of interviews and met with current employees as well. The employees seemed very in sync and similar in personality. Everyone had their own passion within the company, but it tied into the company. Moved pretty quickly compared to the other employees' experiences.

Question 1
Why Tesla? What do you think of the car? How can we persuade someone to switching to fully electric? Why do you believe you can be an asset to our team? What fuels your energy and passion?
The interview process was straight forward, but they were unresponsive following. I did follow up, but the recruiter did not make any effort to return my reach outs. I was kind of confused as i thought this was a pretty prompt high standard company.

Question 1
They asked very open ended questions, pretty generic for band knowledge.
The group interview will do a lot of role-play and will ask to sell me something. They also ask open questions, like, Can you tell me about your sales experience? How do you approach generating new leads and closing deals? How do you handle rejection and what motivates you to exceed sales targets? Also, question about Tesla products.
