I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2025
Interview
Started with some recruiter calls and interview rounds with the hiring manager. Talked about my projects and the team and everything went well. For the onsite, they want a 30 minute presentation of your choice.
During the onsite, it is very noticeable that it is a very in-group environment where they prefer to hire people similar to themselves. The coding and questions were not too difficult, but it was obvious they prefer to work with like-minded people.
It is their choice, but this wastes everyones time. I did not believe the bad reputation of Tesla, but I was proven wrong.
