I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
Phone call/Exploratory Call, said they would call back but did not. Basic interview questions, nothing out of the ordinary. Wanted to know educational background, experiences, potential contributions and reasons for interest.
It was nice and smooth interview for me. Manager offered me speak german though I specified that I can't speak it in my cv. We talked about my experience mostly.
