I applied through other source. I interviewed at Tesla (Taipeh) in Nov 2020
Interview
During the interview, the hiring manager and his teammate (both are based in Hong Kong) asked me to source candidates for 2 urgent openings within one week in order to further "assess" my capabilities.
I knew there was a chance that they planned on having me do their work for free, but I did it anyway because I actually believe in what Elon and Tesla stand for and really want to join the team.
I submitted the assignment one day before the deadline, but have not heard from them since. The reason I am sharing this feedback is because I do not want to see other candidates go through the same atrocious experience the way I did.
Tesla's products are great (I have a Model 3), but their interview process is most definitely not.
The interview process was extremely quick. There were 4 rounds in total, and I received feedback within 24 - 48 hours. The recruiter was nice and answered all of my questions in preparation for the interview. They also provided interview tips without asking.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla in Apr 2026
Interview
No-show. Recruiter emailed me urgently to schedule a call. However, they didn't end up calling me at the arranged time. I emailed to follow up incase. something had happened. No response. It's been over 1 week. No response is a response....
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Austin, TX)
Interview
The process for scheduling and submitting pre-interview questions felt a bit manual and back-and-forth. It might be more seamless if interview time selection and any pre-interview questions were integrated directly into the online job application or online, rather than being handled via multiple emails afterward.
