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.

Boeing Interview Questions
Boeing Interview Experiences
Software Engineer
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.
Structural Analysis Engineer
I went to the National Society of Black Engineers conference, where I met Boeing employees. I talked with them about my academics and explained my projects. Since they liked my work, they scheduled two interviews for the next day.
Structural Design Engineer
Mainly a technical interview. I was asked about my experience in general and then about my experience with certain design software they use. They also asked about the steps I take when designing parts.
