Interview
I recently graduated from UNR and went to the Gigafactory hiring event on June 15th. I was sent to an interview representative within 15 minutes. The interview was fair and I was told that they would contact me and tell me whether I would be further interviewed. I still have not received any response since the initial interview.

I applied online. I interviewed at Panasonic (Newark, NJ) in Mar 2017
Interview
After passing the phone screening I was scheduled to meet with two marketing managers. Each of the interviews was allotted 45 minutes, but ended up lasting over 1.5 hours. I had to submit writing samples from a variety of mediums (Social Media, Email, Whitepaper, Blog Post). Overall the interviews were very conversational and didn't have a great deal of talking about technical skills.
