I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tesla (Sparks, NV) in May 2018
Interview
There was an initial phone screen to see if I was still interested in the position followed by an hour long manufacturing manager conversation that briefly went over my resume. A week later I was invited onsite to interview with 8 managers and present a 30 minute project I completed. It was overall a great experience. The workplace has an overwhelming amount of staff. I was notified two weeks later they found another candidate but could hire in the next 6 months to a year if the business changes. Most managers quoted they worked 12 hour days everyday for weeks straight. They quoted 40 work weeks are dead and this is the new norm. I suppose when you make at least $108K year it's worth it? Overall it was a challenging interview with very smart and likable managers.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tesla in Jan 2018
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn, explaining a job opportunity at the Gigafactory.
After emailing them my resume, the in-house recruiter got back to me in a day and set up a screening phone call.
Then she passed my resume on to the hiring manager of the team I would be applying for.
The original recruiter called back the same day to set up a phone interview between me and that hiring manager.
After that interview, I was passed onto another team's hiring manager because I expressed interest in another closely related job.
They seem to move very quickly and are very polite.
