I applied online. I interviewed at Tesla in Mar 2017
Interview
I had applied online in January and received an email from a recruiter in March asking for some basic details. Then I had two phone interviews. The first interview was with the Director of Global Supply operations and the second was with the manager of strategic sourcing. Both interviews went smoothly within a span of 2 weeks, and I received my offer letter 3 days after my second interview.
1. Only 1 round
2. Technical + Behavioral Combined Interview (1 hour)
3. Too many deep technical questions
4. Supply chain + automation
5. Be prepared with random questions out of the blue
6. Be extra ready for technical questions
7. Read JD multiple times and understand what they want
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Experience about automation and supply chain basics
First round directly with the hiring manager, it goes on for almost an hour and then with some other managers. They go deep into your resume and ask questions based on that.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Fremont, CA) in Oct 2024
