Manufacturing Engineer Interview Experience - San Jose, California
Process
The HR rep was terrible. During the first email, the subject line read "Opportunities at Tesla," and the email body read "further interest in interviewing with Super Micro Computers." After the first screening round, the HR rep just ghosted. He did not have the courtesy to at least reply to the 6 emails I sent saying, "Maybe the Hiring Manager does not want to proceed, or whatever."
Questions
