First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at Boeing.
Manufacturing Engineer

During the interview, I was with a bunch of people from the team, and for half the time, none of them had their cameras on. The lead eventually turned his camera on halfway through.

I ended up declining the offer because the interview and hiring process was so bad.

- How do you ensure that your projects and assignments meet quality standards?
- Describe a situation where you had to manage multiple projects simultaneously. What were the challenges, how did you overcome them, and what were your key takeaways?
Industrial Engineer
I initially talked with them at my university career fair. A few days later, I got an email about an interview. The interview was over Zoom, with two interviewers. They had their cameras off, but I had mine on. It was a behavioral interview, and they wanted responses in the STAR format. They asked all the typical interview questions. About 3 1/2 weeks later, they let me know I got the offer.
- Can you start by telling us about yourself?
- Could you provide an instance where... (using the STAR method)?
