Was contacted by a Tesla recruiter about Mechanical Engineering opportunities in Austin. Blind info I found was incomplete at least for non-SWE roles. The entire process was virtual and took ~2 months. Hope this helps! Initial phone screen with recruiter to pitch project positions, moving timeline, and my work background/experience and aligning relocation expectations. Same week:30 minute phone call with hiring manager talking about past projects, she drove a few questions deep with each answer to really vet my impact and responsibilities. 10 days later: Panel interview starting with 20-30 min presentation on a project I’ve lead relevant to potential Tesla work. Followed by five 1:1 interviews for 30 minutes with limited agenda but asking various behavioral questions (hardest thing you’ve done at work) and some technical (hoop stress). I came away feeling the questions were pressing but fair. It was a lot more discussion than traditional interviews, with questions going both ways. 2 weeks later: recruiter contacts me that Tesla is requiring some technical test for all new candidates. I take the test the next day. Again all the questions were fai. I didn’t answer every question. 1 week later: prepare candidate packet for management approval 10 days later: recruiter requests minor modifications to packet and I resubmit 9 days later: final approval and verbal offer -115 base, 175 rsu, w/ 10k relocation Next day: recruiter phone call to review comp and work through my hurdles. RSU bump requires additional approval. Final offer (explicit that they wouldn’t negotiate further) 120 base, 215 rsu, and 20 relo Current TC 150, 5 yoe.
What level? P2/P3?
I only got 5 relo :( maybe cus im from SoCal? Also, what number did you give for your starting date? I'm thinking of 1 month due to relo and allocating works for my current job.
The proposed start date was 17 days after final offer.
What’s the updated offer? Have you negotiated?
There was the final approval/initial offer and final offer only which are listed in the original post
DM’ing you for some info
what do the Mechanical engineering tests look like? what kind of questions?
