Smart Team, Contract Downtime
Smart Team, Contract Downtime
- Benefits and PTO were excellent in comparison to other aerospace/defense companies, especially for an intern program.
- Employees were generally very cooperative individuals with intellectual competency.
- Work is generally very demanding of individuals (even interns) and can become challenging for those not prepared.
-
Boeing IDS work is all based upon contract negotiations. A lot of unnecessary downtime is caused because there's little (i.e., none) work allowed for individual projects that could be used to improve the efficiency of the overall product.
-
Performance reviews are somewhat constrained, and managers are often not apt to communicate effectively.
- Individual projects would be useful to help keep work at a regular pace during downtime.

I had an informal phone interview. Most of what was asked, since it was an internship, was about my school and how I worked in group projects. Nothing was too difficult to answer.

This was for an entry-level role. STAR format, 5 questions. I was asked about experience and difficult/pressure situations. Besides the 5 STAR questions, a couple of yes/no questions were asked, e.g., "Have you ever used tool X?"
Software Engineer Intern
One phone screen and then one video interview technical round and then a call with the hiring manager. The phone screen was standard behavioral questions, and the technicals were easy LeetCode questions.
