Skilled Colleagues, Slow Bureaucracy
Skilled Colleagues, Slow Bureaucracy
Over a long career at Boeing, I had the opportunity to work with many highly skilled and motivated people. The breadth of the company allows someone who is prepared to follow diverse career paths. I seemingly always had support to improve my skill set through a variety of assignments and formal education. I had a positive career experience.
Well, as with many large companies, bureaucracy can inhibit progress.
Pay attention to the big picture as well as the details. Sweat the details.

They call it a "Structured Interview." It's a series of extremely general questions asked via phone interview with a four-person panel. The questions were extremely general in nature and terribly difficult to answer to their apparent satisfaction.

Structured Interview: behavioural questions. Nothing related to your skill and experience. There are 10 questions. Some are about being a team player, some are about managing stress at work, and some are about managing failures.
