A Good Place to Work, but for How Long?
A Good Place to Work, but for How Long?
While pay is average or slightly subpar compared to other high-tech companies in the area, Boeing has a good healthcare and educational reimbursement package. Retirement and 401(k) matching packages are again average or subpar compared to other comparable companies in the Puget Sound.
If you are interested in work responsibility, the news is both good and bad. The bad news is there is a lack of experienced, direct employees at all experience levels, especially the senior level. The upside to that is, depending on what program you work on, there are ample opportunities to take on work responsibilities/projects that can enhance your career growth.
Senior management has made some serious missteps on staffing, downsizing of industrial capability, and current business models. In many instances, it seems like they cannot learn from their mistakes.
Have a serious internal review and change course before it is too late.

The hiring process was as simple as it can get. HR contacted me by phone, asking for an available one-hour time slot for an interview. After I gave them an available time slot, they confirmed it by email with a description of the interview process.

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?"

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.
