The interview process was disappointing and felt largely one-sided. Instead of asking meaningful questions to learn about my qualifications and experience, the manager spent much of the conversation talking about himself and his accomplishments. Very little time was spent discussing the actual responsibilities of the role, expectations, or opportunities for growth, leaving me with many unanswered questions. Throughout the interview, the manager repeatedly emphasized how much the staff liked him and how well he managed the team, rather than focusing on whether I would be a good fit for the position. During the interview and later while visiting the location, I personally felt there was favoritism toward employees from certain backgrounds, specifically those from the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico. While this was my perception, it contributed to my concern that employees may not all be treated equally. Overall, the interview felt like a waste of time because I left with very little understanding of the position and the impression that the manager was not genuinely interested in evaluating candidates or providing meaningful information about the job. I believe Human Resources should review and improve the interview process. Having a corporate recruiter participate in interviews, establishing a minimum interview length of 45 minutes, ensuring candidates receive a thorough overview of the role, and providing feedback after the interview would create a more professional, consistent, and transparent hiring experience.

I first had a phone screening with the Sales Supervisor where we talked about my background, customer service experience, and interest in Tesla. After that, I was invited for an in person interview where they asked behavioral and customer interaction questions, including how I would handle different customer situations and why I wanted to work for Tesla.

I had a 30 minute interview with Aubra Kidd. I sent my CV before the call, as per the instructions on her email. I believe she has only been working at Tesla, for approx 5 months, which is never a good sign to b einterviews by someone who has recently joined the company. She was late joining my interview, spoke super fast, rushed all the way through. I dropped her an email to say thank you for her time, not even an email back so I kinda knew where it was gonna go. Today I receive an automated email, to say, they received a fortunate high volume, well I know someone who works there and they told me, they didnt, but they had their eyes already set on someone else so I dont know why, they would still want to interview me. They decided to go with to someone with less work experience than me, but their automated email says that other candidates had better "credentials", at the same time telling me to keep an eye on their careers site, no thanks! As i wasted time preparing for this interview, it would have been good to at least get a 5 minute call from Aubra Kidd herself to say that I did not get the job, but maybe suggest herself another position, as I did tell her I am also close to Milton Keynes and Northampton but I guess if they cant be bothered to even keep a good candidate warm, and maybe suggest same role but in different locations, I will certainly not be bothered to check their careers site and will in fact, email her asking her for my data to be deleted. What a waste of time and what a rubbish recruiter. Anyway I have been offered a last stage interview with OpenAI who is bigger and can actually be bothered to contact the candidates they actually reject and offer an alternative. I wanted to originally email her and maybe say to keep my details and maybe if it doesnt work out, I would still be willing to consider the role but as she has totally ignored me, thats a big red flag to me!
