I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tesla (Palo Alto, CA) in Aug 2012
Interview
Very bad interview process. Lot of recriters will call for the same opening. Always multiple submission. Few recruiters has some insiders in Teslamotors. First the insider will call and ask quesitons. Ultimately the resume stops at recruiters end and we never get chance to take real interview. Still below are some expectation to full fill from recruiters end.
