The nature of the business makes it hard to be creative, but not impossible
The nature of the business makes it hard to be creative, but not impossible
Products serve a useful function. Great facilities and support personnel. Supportive co-workers and low-level management. Good medical & retirement benefits. Competitive salary structure. Good opportunities for advancement . . . if you play by the party rules.
The nature of the products (super reliable commercial airplanes) tends to discourage creativity and bog one down in rules, many of which can be outdated.
The retention grading system can be threatening and can discourage new ideas.
Upper management has, in recent years, seriously weakened the financial strength of the company regarding its development strategies of new models, which in turn has weakened job security.
How it has been possible for management to so poorly evaluate the scheduling realities of new airplane development and delivery borders on seeming madness.

Easy to crack. Only asks behavioral questions. Use the STAR format to answer the questions. Have competencies ready. Read up on company history. Prepare for it like a management position. Pretty easy to crack if prepared.

Interviewed online by two senior engineers. First, a self-introduction and opportunity to pitch oneself for the job. Then, five questions to be answered using the STAR (Situation > Task > Action > Result) format. These weren't so much knowledge-bas
Test Engineer
Get the interview through referral, then get a call to schedule a Zoom interview. It's pretty standard for Boeing, a mixture of behavioral and technical questions in a panel format.
