The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla (New York, NY)
Interview
The interview process was very long and time-consuming. I had a phone interview with the recruiter, a phone interview with the manager, a project to complete, an in-person presentation of this project followed by three 30 minute in-person panels of two people on the team, and then a phone interview from the manager's manager and then the director. The project requested for this process was vague and confusingly written. Because of this, I did as much as possible. This resulted in a very detailed presentation that took two weeks to complete.
Considering the extent of this interview and the promises of a difficult role, I expected to learn a lot. I believe the difficulty of the interview poorly reflected the job itself, as it was very easy and required little prior knowledge.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What would you do if you needed information from a subject matter expert and they were not responding to you?
Very curt recruiter on the phone. Seemed like interrogation not interview. Would not recommend, felt like a toxic environment. Did not seem to have read my resume before meeting and not sure why they even called me back, seemed uninterested from hello.
