It was a very disorganized interview and recruiting process. No real structured set of questions. It felt more like free-flow conversations between multiple interviewers. No real complaints - much easier than other interviews that I've gone through. Mostly softball questions.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Sep 2019
Interview
Two phone interviews and an in person with about 7 people for about 30 min each. Did a writing sample before the in person. Few days after in person they ask for 2-3 references. Spoke with 2 of the 3 and both gave great reviews (I wouldn’t suggest them if they weren’t going to be positive). Then, in a move I’ve never seen before, they went a different direction. I mean. I get it, but why call references if you aren’t 100%? Ridiculously embarrassing for me.
