Here are the most commonly searched roles for interview reports -
"Do you understand that although we are no longer a startup we continue to operate as a startup. How do you feel about working in a startup environment?"
HR called me and asked some questions about my Cv. She proceeded to grill me on my resume and kept asking me why I did so many contract roles. This showed me how ignorant and close minded this company is; her attitude was beyond awful. HR had no self awareness and is likely turning off great candidates by their attitude. I Wouldn't want to work for a company that has rude and unprofessional HR reps. The salary on offer was incredibly low and I immediately withdrew my application.
Very delayed response to emails throughout interview process. I was never able to finish the 1:1 interviews because one of the hiring managers was pulled into a meeting during the interview time and they never rescheduled (nor sent a courtesy email to say I was not selected) despite my attempts to reach out.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
4x interviews: They just wanted to hear that I'll never try to go to another department and that I am in love with Tesla. Many times they tried to get me to say I'm looking to go somewhere else or get a new job. I said that I might eventually want to look into Human Resource jobs at Tesla Motors and for two days I was on the phone trying to convince them that I didn't mean it. They almost didn't give me the job. Still 1/3 people don't even stay in sales from what I see they've go one to other departments in the company.
