Process

I had a one-hour interview with three members of the QA team. Two members asked professional questions. At the end, the QA manager arrived and asked one question related to web testing, followed by illegal personal questions. The hiring manager was not ethical at all.

They asked me the following personal questions during a professional interview:

  • How many kids do you have?
  • What is the age of your kids?
  • Who will take care of the kids? (Answer: Grandmom)
  • Is she going to stay here? For how long?

It was very unethical on the part of the QA hiring manager.

I later received feedback that I was not flexible in timings, as I mentioned I had a toddler and a five-year-old girl. They rejected me.

After one week, I complained to HR. HR investigated and stated that the hiring manager was perfect and that these personal questions were not asked.

No justice was given to me.

I highly recommend that Tesla get some ethical training on hiring activities.
