Process

The day of my interview, I checked in with the front desk to get a badge to get into the facility. The interview was conducted by a manager and two senior Project Managers. To answer questions, I had to describe the situation, then what I did to correct it, and what the final outcome was. Overall, I didn't find the process to be too difficult; however, I could see where some might struggle.

Boeing Work Experiences

Not a good place to work

Engineering • Current Employee

Seattle, Washington, United States

Pros: They call Boeing the "Lazy B." Good place for those who are unqualified and lazy.

Cons: Undemocratic, top-down, military-style hierarchy. The employees are basically beaten down, the unions are broken, and the workers have no power or control. The benefits are reduced every year, and work is being shipped overseas while foreign workers are imported. The environment is horrible: cramped cubbies, no expectation of privacy. Come here if you are happy being a slave to the corporate executives. You will be replaced soon and as cheaply as possible.
