Currently interviewing for a designer role at Tesla - wanted some advice. The hiring manager has seemed uninterested and always dropped off interviews early and without answering any of my questions. He also mentioned that he's lost 4 designers from the team recently (red flag!). I think it'd be a cool role, but it sounds like I'd be the only designer and there's not a ton of support, BUT if I do well - lots of room for growth and promotion. Plus internal transfers after a year also an option?

Red flag indeed.
You do mot want to go into a job with little support from your manager. You should see if you can find someone who has worked there for insight to the culture. Are you applying for automotive designer position? There are several areas ( clay modeling, Cad drawing, etc. I worked in automotive managing concept cars. It is a awesome experience. But I am nit familiar with Tesla.

You shouldn’t want to work for someone who doesn’t want to take the time to answer your questions. How are you supposed to feel confident in taking a role when you are left with questions.
There is a better situation out there for you. Skip over this one.

At the end of the day it’s business, but I am left feeling like I wasted my time (and theirs.)Totally confused and disheartened by this process. Anyone else experiencing this?
