I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Nov 2015
Interview
First started with a phone interview / get to know you call from the recruter. Very positive experience as it was a frank, open discussion where I did not feel any pressure. A week later I had a Skype interview with a panel of four personnel at the Fremont Plant. Very relaxed all the way through.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
1st step was applying online. Sought out hiring manager and met face to face to ensure resume was accepted. I was asked to explain how I've demonstrated hard work in previous jobs to see if I was a good fit for the roll. Pending review, I was asked to interview through Skype with two managers. Then, pending a successful interview, I was asked to come on site and visit the Fremont facility. Several meetings with different review boards occurred in the afternoon and I was finished by 1700 in order to fly out that same night.

Question 1
Describe how previous employees and subordinates would describe you.
Scenario: Worker A is a hard worker and took a sick day, and Worker B is a troublemaker and also took a sick day. Management explicitly said only one person can be on leave on any given day, and both workers refuse to come into work. Would you treat each employee the same? How would you handle the situation?
Tell us two examples of how you solved a problem.
