J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. J'ai passé un entretien chez Tesla en févr. 2017
Entretien
The interview called me at 11 pm without any prior notice. Said working for Tesla is supposed to be demanding so I should be ready for an interview at all hours. 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/location he was interviewing me for. Expected me to know everything about what Tesla does and how I fit into the company. Asked me 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.
Started with 2 technical rounds. First one was basic MechE questions. Second round interviewer was in a hurry and not so open to listening your thought process. There were questions on electromechanical concepts as well
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
Difference in bolt torque in hot and cold conditions
The interview was extremely technical. They didn’t ask for an introduction or any background before immediately diving into solving textbook-style engineering problems. The focus was almost entirely on technical problem-solving rather than behavioral conversation or learning about my experience.
