The interview called me at 11 PM without any prior notice. The interviewer stated that working for Tesla is supposed to be demanding, so I should be ready for an interview at all hours. It was very hard to understand him over the phone, and he was very vague about the role and location. I am still not clear which position or location he was interviewing me for. He expected me to know everything about what Tesla does and how I fit into the company. He asked some general questions about my current job. This was followed by some technical questions related to Tesla. Needless to say, this interview caught me off guard, and I performed poorly.
I would recommend researching what the company does and being clear on what interview time suits you.
What is your current role?
Do you know what Tesla does?
In what role do you see yourself, and why?
What is the hottest part of a Tesla vehicle?
Name two machining operations that occur at Tesla.
