Process
I was contacted by a recruiter without ever having expressed interest in working for Tesla.
Communications were pushy and rushed, asking for interviews with less than 24 hours' notice. When replying within 150 minutes, schedules had already changed, and I was forced to schedule a new time, again with less than 24 hours' notice.
Within 3 hours of the interview, I received another request to reschedule.
When conducting predatory interviewing, it is best not to show signs of the chaos and lack of ability to plan even 24 hours in advance.

Tesla Work Experiences
- 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.
- 4.0Fulfilling work, but very demandingEngineering • Current EmployeeSan Jose, California, United StatesMay 17, 2021Pros: The work is new and exciting. You receive a lot of responsibility and are given a lot of autonomy to solve problems your way.Cons: The work-life balance is not great. Most employees are expected to work nights, weekends, and holidays on a moment's notice.
- 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.
