Reliable paycheck every two weeks.
Very difficult to get fired.
World-class benefits (401k, HSA, discounts, relocation, etc.).
Good work-life balance.
It’s a great place to start your career, especially as an intern to gain experience.
Great opportunities for travel.
If you don’t like your manager, you will probably have a new one within a year.
You will probably not be recognized or appreciated for your contributions.
It’s like crabs in a barrel; you have to be very intentional about finding a good mentor. It really is sink or swim.
You have to switch teams every 2 years to get a substantial raise. Otherwise, it is 2-7% annually.
Very immature and unprofessional upper management and leadership at most sites. You probably wouldn’t believe the types of things that go on at this company, especially at K-level and up.
HR is not there to help you; they are there to prevent litigation from occurring. They advocate for "seek, speak, and listen" but will absolutely retaliate against you for doing so. Boeing is no longer an engineering firm; it’s a business, and most people strive for middle management positions.

Structured interview questions. Panel interview. Likely 5-10 questions. Introduce yourself. Explain your background and resume. Have questions for the panel. Average level of difficulty. Experience in the industry helps.
