Good work-life balance, but there is bureaucracy
Good work-life balance, but there is bureaucracy
Expect to work 40-hour weeks unless there is mandatory overtime, which was rare. But if you do work overtime, you get paid time plus extra, which is rare for salary. There are many smart engineers, and you can learn a lot in your time there.
There are definitely hoops you have to jump through, as with any large company:
- Forms
- A million acronyms
- Processes
For example, ordering a part for a design can be a headache. At a smaller company, you can do it yourself and have it overnight.
The company also sells weapons to countries that use them to violate international law.
Some managers have too many people underneath them and aren't very helpful.

Typical STAR Method interview with a panel of people to ask about roles. Even with more than one interviewer, you feel comfortable, and Boeing personnel are always very personable. Standard interview for the most part.

First, I had a mechanical design and aptitude written test. Next was a behavioural round based on STAR-based structural interview questions. I had an HR round preceded by a US call. Finally, I had another HR round for compensation.
