I applied through an employee referral. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at Tesla (Buffalo, NY) in Aug 2020
Interview
I was referred to the position and I got a call from the hiring managercouple of days later. Interview was 1 hour long and was pretty intense. First he asked me about my experience specially SAE Baja experience. It was all technical after that.
