r/TeslaEmployees

I’m 25f beginning my first full time job (as an IE) after my masters this Monday at Tesla Factory.

What are the things I should keep in mind or do to make a solid impression during my first day and first week.

I’m planning on the basics:
-wearing formals
-arriving before time
-greeting everybody at their desks maybe?
-should I try/ask for 1:1s?

Tesla has been my dream company and I want to be able to do my best.

Thank you in advance everybody 🙏🏼

Just got offered a job in Tesla's Palo Alto HQ. Need to relocate from a super LCOL to the area in about 6 weeks and looking at prices of 1B/1B or studio apartments has me freaking out!

Where do you guys stay? And how much do you pay for rent? I hear there's a shuttle option but from where? Should I be looking at apartments further away in Sunnyvale instead of Palo Alto/Mountain View? Thanks!

My recruiter came back with me with a 106k , 45 equity and 7 k relocation for a p1 manufacturing test engineer role in Brookshire is this good enough .

Base 130k
Equity 100k over 4 years (25% year 1, 6.25% quarterly for next 3)
Relocation bonus - $10.5k
First year tc - 155k
Yoe 6

Can this be considered fair offer for P2 Supply Chain Manager at Tesla? Location - Palo Alto, CA

How are the chances to be promoted to P3 level after being hired at p2 with 7 YOE? And what would be the typical salary bump?

I'm currently in the hiring process for an Automation Equipment Engineer (Mechanical) position at Tesla's Megapack facility in Brookshire, TX.
Tesla would be supporting my relocation to the US through a TN visa.
The salary being discussed is around $120k base for a P2 position, with a 9.5k bonus relocation and I was wondering if that's considered a competitive offer for this level and location.
I completed my final panel interview on Monday, October 5th, which consisted of three 30-minute interviews with different engineers. No presentation needed for this. They only asked me for my evidence of excellence document.
Overall, I felt pretty good about my performance. The first two interviews went really well, and I felt confident answering the technical questions. The third one was a little more challenging, but I'd still rate my performance around 7/10.
I have a few questions for anyone who's been through Tesla's hiring process:
Based on your experience, do you think I still have a good chance of getting an offer, even if one of the interviews wasn't as strong as the others?
How long did it take you to hear back after your final panel interview?
Is $120k base a good salary for a P2 Automation Equipment Engineer in Texas?
Does the TN visa process typically affect the hiring decision or timeline?
I know every hiring process is different, but I'd really appreciate hearing about your experiences!

I am interviewing for the above position. HR said it will determine after the interview process. can I expect $200K as base, what is the expected TC?

I have 8 yoe.

please share your experience/thoughts.

Spouse is expecting an offer. Anyone knows if Tesla 401k plan allows Roth in-plan conversion (aka mega backdoor).?Thanks!

A recruiter messaged me on LinkedIn on Wednesday. Told me to apply to the process technician role in Sparks and someone will reach out to me. How long does the hiring process take? Also, I’d be moving from Dallas, Tx. How different is Sparks from Dallas?

So recently had an interview with the Hiring Manager and I think it went well (I say this because i honestly dont know what a good/bad interview is anymore so I am not thinking much about that), and was wondering how long would it be till i get an update about a rejection or the next round.

I ask this because the first step in the process was an AI interview. I received an automated rejection email the very next day, but later ended up receiving an invitation to interview with the Hiring Manager. I also emailed the recruiter to ask about the general timeline for next steps a day after the interview, mainly because I don't want to be caught off guard like last time but they haven't replied yet.

For those who've been through similar hiring processes, how long did it take you to hear back after a Hiring Manager interview (it has been a few days so am I screwed)? And is there any reliable way to tell whether an interview went well, or is it really just a waiting game at this point?

Would appreciate hearing about your experiences!

Got a job offer this past week, did all the background checking, and drug test, but haven’t heard back from recruiter. Should I be worried or is it just a waiting thing?

So I start the Data collection operator job on monday which is the training part. I am confused because theres been only one mail about online orientation. Is there an in person one too? Its already friday I reached out to the recruiter she said there will be an email by end of this evening! I dont want to miss the in person training the very first day

So I got a virtual interview after the ai interview for process technician for general assembly and well I got a background in refinery’s as a dock operator and Ldar technician and automotive as a mechanic now I got the troubleshooting aspect of the job just not much working with hydraulic or electrical some electrical at least, but basically I’m thinking I’m am going to have to sell myself pretty good in this interview and was wondering if the questions are the same as most interviews like tell me about a time or give me an example of when you did this. I do want this job as it is a good step for my future I’m not really nervous just more excited I’m getting a chance as it has been a lot of crickets for other jobs and I don’t really feel like doing refinery work for the rest of my career anyways sorry for rambling.

I have an opportunity to interview with Tesla in Sparks, NV.

Currently a maintenance electrical/control tech for the same role I’m potentially going to interview for.

I have read about layoff soon afterwards, higher cost of living compared to where I am at, but for the most part all the “negatives” of the workplace is what I deal with now. Poor management planning, tempermanent fixes, unmotivated staff, etc. I’m still young(early 30s 7yrs industrial electrical/controls, 10yrs electrical experience)and this can be an opportunity of a lifetime to work at an advanced factory like this. I’m self motivated, love my field and always want to learn/achieve more.

Anyone work there/has and can tell me more? Just trying to weight the pros and cons of potentially relocating.
