Great Benefits, Tough Commute
Great Benefits, Tough Commute
Good health insurance + extra hospital indemnity, accidental insurance, etc.
Discount stock program, free stock options, and RS stocks.
Paid federal holidays.
Many food options.
Cyber wallet bonus.
Free bus shuttles.
Free Enterprise Carpool, but have to pay for gas.
Long drive, often accidents on I-80 (only one way to get here from Reno area).
Small amount of PTO hours.
Only 3% 401K match.
Very long vesting periods for stock options and RSUs.
First rows of parking are for Teslas only.
Tesla management says that they are trying to give employees a good work-life balance. But with that small amount of PTO hours, it is not possible.
Please increase PTO hours.
Please increase the 401K match as well.
Please give an option to purchase more Cyber Wallet PTO for M-F workers, since we have less time off in general. ABCD shifts have 3-4 days off every week; they are fine with 20 extra PTO, but not us.
And stop discriminating by having Teslas park near the building and regular cars park farther away.

Tesla Interview Questions
Tesla Interview Experiences

Initially, I had two separate phone interviews discussing my background and experience. After I "passed" the phone interviews, they invited me to their campus for a full day of interviews. I had four one-on-one interviews lasting from 9 AM to 3 PM. E
Automation Engineer
The recruiter asked about my background, with no technical questions and only one behavioral question. He mentioned he would meet with the team to review and discuss shortlisted applicants before deciding who moves forward in the interview process.
Manufacturing Equipment Engineer
Interview with a hiring manager. Mostly technical questions. The questions are easy and straightforward. You need to have experience with the equipment and robots they are using, otherwise they won't hire you.
