Process
I was referred to this position by a friend who has a friend working there.
The recruiter reached out to me to provide more information about the position and set up an interview for me and the manager of the team I will be working with.
Estimated wait time:
- ~4 days for the first actual "interview"
- ~2 days to notify if I got the job
- ~1 week to send the offer letter and 3 days to accept the offer
It was pretty fast for me because I got the job in June, nearing the end of the school year. The manager who interviewed me liked me quite a bit, so he told me he'd reflect the success of our phone conversation to the recruiter. The recruiter then sent me an offer letter, and HR followed up with me until employment.

Tesla Work Experiences
- 5.0Bright Team, Exciting ProductsEngineering • Current EmployeeFremont, California, United StatesOctober 21, 2016Pros: It is a company filled with energetic and bright people who are the best at what they do! The products are exciting, and there's really nobody else in the Bay Area that's doing as exciting stuff as Tesla is.Cons: Long hours and hard work, but anything that's worth it doesn't come easy! The pay and perks aren't as great as other surrounding companies in the Bay, but that will soon change when Model 3 takes off! I have strong faith in the company's long-term success.
- 4.0Work hard and feel good about itEngineering • Current EmployeeFremont, California, United StatesAugust 8, 2016Pros: If you want to challenge the norm and be excited about going to work every day, then this is a good place to be.Cons: The hours can sometimes be long, and tight deadlines don't help. The company is growing at a rapid pace, so some of that is expected.
- 1.0Sexy company with innovative product, but employees are treated like machines with no rewardsEngineering • Current EmployeeDecember 9, 2014Pros: A sexy company with an innovative product and a great vision.Cons: The company has no concerns for the employees' well-being. They treat their employees as machines and devote no resource or time to career development or their well-being. It's common to be working 70 to 80 hours a week, and management has no respect for your personal life. Texts or emails on the weekend are the norm. Pay is extremely under market, considering that it's a Palo Alto-based company and the number of hours everyone puts in.
