Hi everyone,
I wanted to share my experience with the **Tesla PEAK Program** interview process in case it helps others who are preparing.
My **first interview** was around **October 30** and was a basic behavioral screening. I then moved to a **second-round panel interview** with the **Process Engineering team around December 2**, which included **three senior Process Engineering leaders** aligned with the **Body in White Tesla Semi team**.
For this round, I was asked to submit a **candidate summary** covering **three major achievements** and prepare a **project-based presentation** in **STAR format**. The intent was to clearly explain my background, technical thinking, and problem-solving approach.
The interview itself was very in-depth:
* I walked through a project with **process flows, data, and graphs**
* The panel asked **detailed technical and analytical questions**, including cross-functional scenarios
* The final portion focused on **behavioral questions**, especially around **teamwork and collaboration**
While I ultimately received a **rejection** for the program, the process itself was rigorous and well-structured, and it gave me a good understanding of the expectations at this level.
Posting here to:
* Share the interview structure for future candidates
* Ask if others had a similar experience or timeline
Happy to answer questions if this helps anyone preparing
