I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA)
Interview
Process was very swift. There were two phone interviews (one with a peer-level person and one with the hiring manager) and an in-person interview. The interviews were more in the vein of "getting to know me" and less tactical and technical as there seemed to be a lot of trust in my years of experience and what I demonstrated on paper.
