I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing (Long Beach, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
HR set up a phone interview with three of the engineering managers. They used a very structured interview format consisting of ~5 SAR questions. It was clear they were taking notes the whole time. Would have preferred a less robotic interview process, but I guess that is their way of keeping things fair for everyone.
I was completely ghosted after the interview. I reached out for follow-up but still never heard anything. Really unprofessional on the part of HR. Thumbs down.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Basic "describe a time when" type questions. Only one that really threw me off was when they asked specific examples about diversity. I explained that I've been working on very diverse teams my whole life (including living and working abroad a good portion of my life) but they only seemed interested in a single, specific example.
It was a virtual interview with 2 managers. It took about 45 minutes in total with most questions related to prior work experience. A straightforward and simple interview. The whole process took about 2 weeks.
5 star behavioral interview questions with the hiring manager and some of the engineers on the team. Then you hear back in 1 week to a month later depending on the role.
Easy and straightforward interview process done remotely. Very professional staff and clear instructions on the entire process at every stage. Prescreen call and 4 Zoom meetings. Great interviewers and professional.
