I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Tesla in Oct 2017
Interview
I found it difficult to explain circuits during a phone interview, it would have been a little bit easier to draw diagrams on a whiteboard in person or over a shared screen environment. The interviewer was late to the call.
There was some what disorganized communication between the HR recruiter and the Hiring Manager. HR said interview will be over one set of topics. Hiring Manager interviewed over another set of unrelated topics.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2024
