The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Tesla in Apr 2015
Interview
Connected with one of the recruiters online looking for job, he set up a phone interview with me and after the call, he called me that he's gonna write to the recruiter responsible to recommend me for the job. Never heard from the recruiter. But anyway the person that I talked to handled the process well and professionally.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General HR questions like tell me your experience, competency, why you are a good fit for the role.
Straightforward interview process, had an initial phone screen first, then a panel interview with 4 team members. Overall, the interviews were not too difficult, however some of the team members during the panel had their camera off, which was off-putting. There was not too much communication between rounds so I was unsure of what was going on at times. Overall, I was not too impressed with the interview process and communication from the hiring team.
I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Sparks, NV) in Jul 2021
Interview
1 recruiter call.
1 hiring manager call.
About 3 - 4 hours for onsite. 1st call was over the phone, the rest were virtual. This process was before Covid. Things may have changed since then.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla (Berlin) in Jun 2021
Interview
After my application I had recruiter reach out to me about two weeks later. The process itself was less than a week. After recruiter I had team interview with two people with a case study and then hiring manager interview with two people I would report to.

Question 1
A lot of behavioral based questions from past experiences. Case study was challenging for me.
