J'ai postulé via un recruteur. Le processus a pris 5 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tesla (Fremont, CA) en mars 2018
Entretien
Three phone screens and follow a onsite interview with team members that you will be working with. Phone screens went really well and I get to speak with the hiring manager after speaking with recruiter. The onsite interview was challenging as HR told me the wrong location. I was 40 mins late to the interview and it really threw me off as the time was compressed and interviewers were all different. I didn't do well in the first round, but I've gotten better as time went by. The questions weren't too difficult and case interviews were pretty short I don't think I used any of my STAR stories. One of the interviewer even asked me to role play under a extremely stressful condition. The other interviewer asked me to summarize one of my bullet points into one sentence in BLUF format. Overall, I enjoyed the conversation that I had during the interview and wished that I could've perform better.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Combination of behavioral interviews and case iterviews.
Started with 30 min recruiter conversation. Then 30 min with hiring manager. After that, it's another 30 min interview with a Staff level team member. Finally onsite panel is a 30 min presentation, plus 6 rounds of 1:1
A recruiter screen -> hiring manager interview -> 1/1 cross-functional peer interview -> 15 min presentation -> panel interviews (4). Fairly straightforward throughout, moved through the steps in about a month to offer.
