I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at The Boring Company (Texas City, TX) in Sep 2024
Interview
Got through the first round and moved on to the second—just got a bit unlucky. The second interviewer didn’t seem to be in the mood that day, since he didn’t turn on his camera. But the HR and the first-round interviewer were friendly.

Interview
Was contacted for an interview. After sitting in call they did not respond or contact me again. After talking about possibility of rescheduling, I never heard back from the recruiter again. Overall pretty boring experience.
