I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Newport Beach, CA) in Jan 2016
Interview
Applied online in November for the Newport Beach, CA location. Didn't hear anything until mid-January. A recruiter called me to set up a phone interview. From there I had another phone interview with a different recruiter the next week. After that I had an in-store interview with the Newport Beach store manager another week later. After meeting with him my recruiter called me again to schedule a FaceTime interview with the Director of Sales for California. 9 days after that my recruiter called me to offer me a position. From application to hiring the process took me about 3 months.
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you willing to work beyond normal businesses hours.
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.
Interview questions [1]
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.
