I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Boring Company in Apr 2021
Interview
The introductory phone call was great and I was immediately scheduled for the next round. However, the interviewer on this round sounded rude/condescending from the beginning. I lost interest at this point and decided it wasn't worth moving forward.
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at The Boring Company (Bastrop, TX) in Jun 2023
Interview
Professional, streamlined and direct. HR Screener with basic engineering questions, CAD test, and subsequent phone interviews with other staffed engineering. Process was pretty quick and communication was great. I never once felt like I didn't know where I was in the process.
