I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Freiburg im Breisgau)
Interview
Director and hiring manager interview are first round. Second round is case study and final round is panel interview. The process was fairly quick. However, some lulls in communication of next steps and hiring process transparency once it moved from hiring team to recruiter.

Question 1
What cross functional teams are involved in a power electronics program?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
3 30 min remote interviews, 1 30min presentation about one thing you have done and 6 30 min interviews on site. A very long process that makes it difficult to follow
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Oct 2025
Interview
Multiple interview stages, the recruiters and hiring managers lack professional.
I got first video interview rescheduled 3 times not because of me because the hiring manager kept forgetting and missing about the interview.
This isn't the first time I interviewed for Tesla, same thing happened again when I interviewed for them 2 years ago for another position.

Question 1
About my current role at my current company.
Basic interview questions for the position I was interviewing
First round online interview with the hiring manager. Then onsite panel interview with five interviewers in the team. The online and in-person one both are technical. HR is not efficient. Every other employees seem to be pretty professional!
