I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
Very long but extremely thorough. As the interviewee, you receive constructive feedback during the interview process. Initially I conducted a skype interview with a couple different managers then I was contacted by the recruiter and Tesla flew me to Fremont for in-person interviews. During the on-site interview I met with various managers, HR personnel, and the VP of Manufacturing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
