I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
First they will get your basic interview and if you pass they take another. It was good experience. They ask detailed answers and check your thinking, personality and most important skill. They check your precision and creativity.
Wish interviewer showed more emotion. Asked me to make a presentation but then completely ignored it and went straight into technical questions. Answered most right but made a couple mistakes.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Gd&t, beam bending, and applications of beam bending
I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
The interview process was essentially an exam that tested my knowledge of basic engineering principles. Although these are basic principles, it seemed as if they did not know that such facts could be googled in the case if they were needed.
Applied online with a CV and everything, even needed to send in a review of a different company to use the God damn website it was very strange but you know tesla go vroom so worth it and stuff
