I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tesla (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2021
Interview
Market Manager - Tesla recruiter reached out to me for an interview. Interview went well and I was immediately offered a second interview with 24 hours turn around. The interviewer (Region Manager) in second interview seemed uninterested and disengaged. Ended with interviewer feedback - "We are a top tier company that attracts top tier candidates, and you do not match up to them". I asked myself why they would reach out to me and ask me to interview.
