I applied through college or university. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Nov 2014
Interview
Recruiter made first contact over email. Got the feel for what I was interested in. Set me up with a department looking for my skill set. Second interview with (future) mentor, then a third final interview over the phone with manager.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you determine how many pianos are in a given town. Problem solving, describing interest in company, interest in major, past projects worked on, work experience.
Wish interviewer showed more emotion. Asked me to make a presentation but then completely ignored it and went straight into technical questions. Answered most right but made a couple mistakes.

I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
The interview process was essentially an exam that tested my knowledge of basic engineering principles. Although these are basic principles, it seemed as if they did not know that such facts could be googled in the case if they were needed.
Applied online with a CV and everything, even needed to send in a review of a different company to use the God damn website it was very strange but you know tesla go vroom so worth it and stuff
