I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tesla (San Jose, CA) in Aug 2021
Interview
Tough questions, but very nice people. We had a good conversation going on throughout. It was misleading but their HR sort of helps you get ready for their questions so you have a better insight of what they are looking for on a candidate

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Dubai) in Jul 2025
Interview
A Tesla interview is fast-paced, technical, and focused on innovation. Candidates are expected to demonstrate problem-solving skills and a deep understanding of their field. The process often includes multiple rounds, such as phone screens, technical interviews, and a final panel or on-site session. Interviewers value first-principles thinking and alignment with Tesla’s mission. Passion, self-motivation, and the ability to work under pressure are key traits they look for.
Easy and understandable with ease of the hiring manager. I really enjoyed the interview with a passion. I was greeted very fairly with respect and honor which in turn made me want to go on with the interview and work for the company
