I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Aug 2022
Interview
I sat with the thermals team manager and he asked me some technical questions. He also asked about some of the projects on my resume and to explain the details.

Question 1
Beam question: asked about tensile and compressive stress within the beam during bending, neutral axis, etc.
I didn’t appreciate the constant stream of irrelevant questions, especially for a marketing position. It came off as unprepared and distracting, making the conversation feel scattered and unproductive. In a role that demands clarity and focus, this kind of questioning was frustrating and ultimately left a negative impression.

I was asked to schedule a slot whether I had 30 min interview call with the hiring manager. He asked about my background and some general stuff. He also asked about my experience in dealing with suppliers.
