I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesla (New York, NY) in Nov 2020
Interview
Absolutely terrible interview experience. The interviewers are trying to leech information from projects worked on with previous employers so they can apply it at Tesla. Be careful what you share at your interview. After that was ghosted by a recruiter. They are acting like they are the only EV company in US. Too much hype zero substance.
Started on the phone with recruiter, moved to Phone interview with Tech lead It moved to plant face to face with lead and had tour and had to set up a simple prototype then final was 5-person interview online (one at a time)
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Dubai) in July 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
