Hi Blind I went through all the stages of the interview process including a Teams group interview and an exam which the recruiter told me I’ve been approved to move forward for an engineering position. The only step that was left is my candidate package to be approved by Elon and senior management. I submitted my three bulletins to the recruiter about 2.5 weeks ago. I followed up twice in one week intervals and recieved no replies. Is this typical from the recruiter ? I also haven’t received any official offer or verbal offer. Position is at Fremont. I’ve heard some recruiters don’t make contact unless there is news. What do you all think? Thanks everyone !
What Elon approves the hiring even for Engineers?
Guess you might have to wait. He's busy pumping Doge.
lololol
Not Musk. Lol. May be David assuming you are under SW Engg org. It shouldn't take 2 weeks and even if it did, the recruiter would respond to you. May be they are OOO? But my gut feeling says they are chatting with another candidate. This isn't a norm, but I have seen this a few times it happened there.
Yeah I think you’re right that the recruiter typically replies. However, I also heard that if there’s no news then the recruiter doesn’t make any contact. Also I believe it is Elon, in his email he specifically says Elon and you can find a couple of other posts that talks about SM approving the candidate applications.
May be the process changed. Or may be it's a critical project that Musk is personally invested in. Which if so, is awesome.. Good luck..hope you make it.
He’s busy on Twitter
I got a Tesla offer I rejected for low TC and they were always very quick and calling me leaving messages so if I were you I’d keep interviewing and tell the recruiter to stop playing games or you’re done
Thanks for the reply man. What position was it for ?
Firmware software engineering
Did you get any update?
Not yet. Do you have any insight on the situation? Thanks !
We've been seeing some long delays in the process also. Never in my long stay at tesla have I seen a hiring binge happening at the magnitude going on right now across all orgs. Its not just you, but I think the pace of growth is wrecking the processes and tools we have in place. An occasional ping for an update isn't a problem, but your position is probably just somewhere working through the system.
Thanks ! I actually got an update today after another ping and said an approval is still in the works.

I do not know if its the right place to talk about my kind of experience.I think they are too busy of a company. I have encountered Tesla recruiters three times. They always reached me out by the end of a working day. Twice they reached out to me with half day interview notice with the hiring manager. Recently they reached out again at the end of a day. This time I could not response immediately and never heard back. I guess they move on with whomever available immediately.

Any Indians Think Kashmir Should be Independent?
What level and/or yoe? Seems strange Elon is in the loop unless exec level.
I think this is standard for all engineers that are hired for Tesla. 3 YOE and not sure about the level yet.
Elon needs to learn how to delegate
