I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Sept 2016
Interview
Rather mundane due to the lack of actual questions pertaining to skills. More so asking yes or no question of familiarity. Meanwhile, I felt the questions I had for them were or should have been the things they should have filling me in on.

Question 1
If given a normally open and a close push button with a relay can I wire a start /stop circuit?
Four different panel interviews with panels of 2-3 people each, all held back to back on the same day. Interview started late. I traveled from out of town and they were supposed to set up travel arrangements. Someone from the recruiting office called the evening after my interview to set up those travel arrangements. I ended up traveling on my own money and staying with family because of this poor coordination.
