Glassdoor users rated their interview experience at Tesla as 100% positive with a difficulty rating score of 3 out of 5 (where 5 is the highest level of difficulty). Candidates interviewing for Senior Recruiter and rated their interviews as the hardest, whereas interviews for Senior Recruiter and roles were rated as the easiest.
I interviewed with both the hiring manager and a mentor.
In the first round with the manager, it was a casual conversation—he shared a lot about his own career path and didn’t ask any technical questions.
In the second round, the mentor asked some domain-specific and logical thinking questions. There weren’t any right or wrong answers; he was more interested in understanding how I think.
Overall, they were both very friendly and respectful during the interviews. However, I didn’t make it to the next stage.
