Big Company, Political Stress
Big Company, Political Stress
Big company. Lots of opportunities to move around. Shrinking pool. It was stressful at the end when I took a voluntary layoff.
Very political. You were either in the "in crowd", or you were always facing the door in downturns. Management is no longer paid for overtime, so you do not always get the best candidates. Many people were just biding their time until they could retire. There was no loyalty to employees after Boeing was bought out by McDonnell Douglas.
Learn how to motivate people.
Cut the politics.
I expected more from a larger company during my 20 years there.

Boeing Interview Questions
Boeing Interview Experiences
Engineer
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?"
Quality Engineer
The interview process is quick and easy. It is mainly behavioral and about how well you fit in the team. The maximum time is an hour, and the average time for the interview is 30 minutes.
Structural Engineer
No technical questions asked. They are super focused and live and die on the STAR questions. No test required. Not even sure if they’re allowed to ask anything outside of the STAR questions.
