I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla
Interview
One panel interview with 4 people, each person consecutively for about 30 minutes each (total 2 hours). Standard questions for a recent college graduate, were very relevant to previous internship experience.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Tesla (Austin, TX) in Feb 2026
Interview
They ask you about your work experience and your technical experience within your jobs and how you troubleshoot since that's a big part of the job they want you to do.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla in July 2021
Interview
The interviews were very relaxed. I had 3 interviews: The first was a simple HR overview, the second was an in depth technical interview on my resume, and the third was an offer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Tell me about your resume (this was the only prompt in my technical interview, but it spurred a long in depth conversation about my work experience)
