Challenging Work, Frustrating Bureaucracy
Challenging Work, Frustrating Bureaucracy
Interesting & challenging technical work
Endless cost-cutting and lay-off/relocation cycles, promotion/raise process based more on seniority than merit, emphasis on product cost over performance, massive and inefficient bureaucracy.
Invest in retention in the same way as you invest in recruitment (EAHI program, for example).
Cut costs to survive, but at some point, you will have to place a large bet on a new technology because competing with emerging low-cost single-aisle competitors from overseas on price alone is not a long-term strategy for survival.

Boeing Interview Questions
Boeing Interview Experiences
Aerodynamics Engineer
Very boring. Four grown men read questions off a paper. They asked to explain a time, which felt very cliché. They ask questions and write down the answers. They don’t try to get to know you. They don’t ask about your experience, or what you enjoy
Software Engineering Manager
Virtual interview with a panel in 30 minutes. I felt awkward because no one turned on their video except myself. Perhaps this is a security precaution for a defense-related position. I answered five standardized questions.

Nothing too technical, everyone friendly. They cared about character more than how to answer technical questions. Good process overall for those exiting college. Be sure to network within the company; there are many opportunities for mobility.
