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.
Had an interview with the recruiter. It was nothing special, just went trough my resume and the things I did before. I am still waiting for the answer, the interview was 3 weeks ago and they said they'll contact me within a week or maybe a bit longer. I've sent them a follow up e-mail but there was no reply. For now, I am neutral but if they don't reply on my follow up e-mail (which takes 5 min of their time, literary) I'm turning this into negative experience.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
So far I've had a telephone interview. I reckon the fact a Tesla Motors employee gave my resume to a recruiter had a lot to do with getting the interview, although I also applied on their website. The website was a bit quirky, and I had to submit my application twice to feel like it actually got through.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
We work long hours and weekends at Tesla. You're probably used to a more 9 to 5 type job. How do you feel about the expectation of working long hours?
I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
The first interview was an interview with the store manager. The second interview consisted of a series of interviews with 3-5 sales team managers. The third interview, which technically is the fifth/sixth interview, was a skype interview with the regional director. I'm still waiting to hear a response to whether I've gotten the job or not. It's been over three weeks.
