I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla in Sep 2017
Interview
Three interviews. One HR to ask about my interests. Two very technical interviews. The whole process from the first call to offer in two weeks. Very fast. The recruiting team at Tesla is super responsive and friendly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Explain a scenario where you have used more than two quality tools to solve a problem.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in Jun 2011
Interview
Had multiple rounds of interviews. Various types of questions including situational, behavioural and technical problems. Typically one HR interview and then one techincal, then one managerial. Nothing fancy, or unexpected, but the difficulty of questions may be tough during the technical interview. Keep your cool.
