J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 2 mois. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tesla (Austin, TX) en juil. 2021
Entretien
1) Phone interview with hiring manager where they asked some technical questions
2) Onsite interview where they ask you to put together a presentation for 6+ staff level engineers to review
3) 6x 1 on 1 interviews with staff level engineers on the design team and operations teams
It seems like Tesla is pulling a gimmick where they ask you to revise your presentation at the last minute before your onsite interview. They are pulling this stunt on multiple people to see how much of a 'yes man' or 'tesla fan boi' you are I suppose. I personally refused to revise my presentation but other people did choose to make changes at their request. I'm not going to beg them for a job.
One staff level engineer proceeded to ask me a bunch of specific mechanical questions that were a bit of a stretch outside of chemical engineering design scope including types of mechanical welds on piping and pipe support requirements. These specifications seemed more tailored to a mechanical engineer in my opinion or perhaps I wasn't what they wanted. The questions were asked rapid fire back to back without any feedback or rapport. This was pretty terrible as most interviewers want to have a conversation about your experience or a technical concept. This guy may as well have asked me to take a multiple choice exam instead of wasting our time.
