I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
Recruiter found me on LinkedIn. a few phone interviews and then onsite interview. They trip that was booked for me was horrible, just to keep it cheap I guess. On interview day the interview panel was not prepared at all. Some of them hadn't looked at my resume before hand and were asking me if I have a bachelor or not!! one of them was late and when he came in, he put a piece of paper in front of me and asked me to solve a question and when i did he said ok thanks and left the room!! Everything was so chaotic and unprofessional, I could not wait to get out of the interview

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in May 2026
Interview
About 4 rounds of interviews: initial phone screening, 1 on 1 with hiring manager, panel interview and following up with a project presentation. I got to the 2nd round and ultimately rejected. They will dive deep into your experiences so be sure to know them like th back of your hand.
Normal panel interview and also with team members and managers as 1:1 overall it is very typical what you can expect and the process is very straightforward they will also ask some behavioral question
First, had phone screening to go over the role, team, and interviewing stages. Then, had a follow up remote interview with one of the team members that dived more into the technical aspects and expectations of the role.
