I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Apr 2024
Interview
It was typical interview as they go through multiple stages , sometimes it feels repetitive,But I guess that’s how it is . But the interview overall was a good experience
Very time taking. Initial HR round, Call with the hiring manager, take home test, presentation to the panel and interview with the panel. The process took more than 2 months. Professional and nice people.
It was pretty complicated. There are numerous stages and technical questions. They are also not looking to sponsor anyone. Further, they are not fully transparent regarding the salary. The technical question was a real case question and is actually challenging.
