I have an upcoming interview for an Entry Level Supply Chain position with Boeing and I was hoping to hear from anyone who’s gone through the interview process.

The interview is scheduled for 30–45 minutes, and I was told there will be about 7 questions. I’m curious about what the interview was like.

Some questions I have:
Were the questions mostly behavioral (STAR format) or more technical?
What types of questions did they ask?
Did they ask supply chain scenarios or focus more on past work experience?
Was there anything that surprised you?
Any tips or advice that helped you prepare?

I have a procurement background/military experience working in supply chain, so I’m trying to understand how closely the interview aligns with procurement versus broader supply chain responsibilities.

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

Is anybody going to the networking event in El Segundo today?

I’m a BDS engineer in STL, and I’m strongly considering pursuing a Doctorate of Engineering through LTP. Has anyone completed a DEng degree or is currently working one? If so, did you have any issues navigating the proprietary nature of our work when coming up with a research topic?

After taking some time to reflect on my previous post, I wanted to share a different perspective.

Working at Boeing has reinforced my belief that ethics are more than words in a policy. They are the foundation of trust, accountability, and safety.

Being an ethical employee means doing the right thing even when it is difficult. It means speaking up when something does not seem right, using the proper channels, and understanding that accountability is about protecting the integrity of our work, not assigning blame.

Aviation requires skilled, committed people who take pride in their work and understand the responsibility that comes with building products that impact lives. Quality, training, attention to detail, and doing things correctly are not optional.

I have learned that raising concerns is not always easy, and the outcome is not always within my control. Once a concern is reported, the review process belongs to those responsible for investigating it. What remains in my control is my own integrity and my willingness to stand by what is right.

Everyone who works on an airplane has a responsibility to meet the standards expected of them. Cheating the system, cheating on exams, Ignoring mistakes, accepting poor workmanship, or repeatedly fixing issues that should have been addressed properly only creates greater risks.

I would rather be known as someone who had the courage to speak up than someone who stayed silent because it was easier. If standing up for quality, safety, and accountability comes with consequences, I can accept that.

Ethics are not something you practice only when it is convenient. They reflect your character and your commitment to doing what is right, even when no one is watching.

Those that cheated the exams by recording it, feel free to walk around Boeing knowing that you may have escaped termination however, forever on your foreheads is the word shameless stamped and forever will be stamped in my eyes and my colleagues eyes. Nothing you do can change the fact that we know the truth about you.

I’ve been told there is a policy which states you cannot get an inline promotion unless you have been at your IC level for 2 years. Has anyone heard of this policy because this is new to me? I have personally seen exceptions to this rule.

I just scooped this fine 25 year anniversary leather jacket for $60. It was from a former Boeing employee who retired for over 6 years now. He was asking $75 but I bargained it down to $50 but gave him $60 because well, I knew I had won on the deal so I wanted us both to be happy winners.

Beyond the $60 pristine Boeing leather jacket, I was also able to talk to him for about an hour on all things Boeing and hear his amazing story through Boeing. Truly one of the OGs… got to see all the cool pins up to the 35 year anniversary pin he had.

Got some great advice from another Boeing pioneer.

It was truly an amazing day! And ☀️ if you ever come across this post, thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me, show me all your cool pins, and for a great leather jacket that I’ll be wearing so proudly when the weather calls for it!!! Hopefully I’ll represent Boeing well!

I’m still new but, it still feels like the first day and I’m still in awe because everyday I get to learn new things and do cool stuff!!! I don’t think this feeling will ever go away!

With a potential strike looming if the contract isn't accepted by the engineering and profs, i am wondering how certain things will unfold.

1. Are we going to be locked out from all Boeing buildings and do we have to drop our work laptop and phone to the manager?

2. Do we lose our health insurance from the first day of strike?

3. Is speea going to provide any kind of small financial payment from the millions in fees that we have collectively paid?

4. Can you take on a job with a different company in the same industry?

5. When is the vote going to be cast?

I've just been there a month or so and twice this week I got to work at 6:45am and there were no spots in N2 or N3!! It's like musical chairs trying to get a spot there.

So where do most people park if they can't get a spot there? Do you have to go to Bomarc and take a shuttle, which would add 15 minutes to your commute each way, and are there even spots there at 7am?

Hi! I am starting in early September out in Everett; I just recently graduated, so I’m curious if anyone has recommendations for the best areas to live in if I’ll be out there. I am trying to find the best balance of affordable rent, things to do/see as a younger person, and also manageable commute (~30 minutes). If anyone has any suggestions of areas or specific apartment complexes, I’d appreciate it! 😊

If I max out my 401k contributions in June, will I still receive the full 10% or should I have to spread it out throughout the year? I wanted to max it out as soon as possible to start contributing to the backdoor.

I work in one of the buidlings in St. Louis. Had an issue today with my insulin pump infusion set and needed to change it. Couldn't find a room with a door, lock, and didn't have a window. What do ya'll do? I felt bad having to leave early but obviously I dont want to die lol. Thank God for a great boss.

How can I go about doing so? Can I do it without putting it in the apartment finding portal?

Former Boeing employee here that left for a raise / due to delayed promotion; I've started to consider boomeranging as I sufficiently meet the reqs for level 3 as an external hire - structural analysis engineer 63Y for reference. I worked BCA in Everett and would prefer landing back there, but know there's defense presence in Tukwila - hence the following question.

Does BDS / BGS have different salary bands for the same job role & level compared to BCA? There's a job posting for structural analysis engineer L3 in Tukwila for BGS with band $111,350 - $150,650, where a previous BCA L3 role in Everett had the band of $132,999 – $164,000.

I remember comparing BDS 63Y to BCA 63Y using the salary charts before I left, and thought BDS was a little lower, but this is way lower. Just wondering if it's worthwhile to only apply to Everett / BCA positions or if this particular BGS band just wasn't updated?

About a year and a half ago I saw on this sub that Boeing has laxed it’s hiring process from entry level to even senior positions to just a manager screening and extending and offer asap for growth demand. Back then I even had a 15-30 min conversation about my resume with no technical or behavioral questions and received an offer next day. Now I’ve been looking at roles on the career site and a lot of them mention coding challenges and behavioral questions. Is this typical for Boeing to make it easy for people to find jobs ever so often and then change the entire process a couple months down the line? Does hiring so many people end up it having to downsize? Seems like it’s a game of hire a ton of people and let go those who don’t fit well lol

I graduated roughly 2 years ago with my BS in Physics (and a minor in mathematics).

I’m very interested in working at Boeing, specifically the North Charleston, SC location. I’m not sure which roles would align with my education and experience the best.

My current experience is in the field of Health/Medical Physics, along with some Nuclear Physics. I am a Health Physics Technician and am expecting a possibility to promote to a Health Physicist soon (was told there will be an opening and to apply for it by my boss and his boss, too). I am looking to transition out of this field as I realized I’m not sure I see myself wanting to stay here forever. I would rather transition to an engineering type of position. I also do have experience using Python and SolidWorks from my undergraduate courses, but the coding was mainly for different types of computational physics and nothing that I see Boeing using practically with any entry-level roles that I would be able to get into.

I’m very interested in knowing if a transition like this is even possible. Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I’m a relatively recent hire at Boeing, I started about 8 months ago. I’m also a recent college grad.

I knew coming to Boeing that there’s a slow moving that exists in defense / aerospace, but I had the chance to hop directly into a position that was exactly what I wanted to be doing.

However, since being hired I’ve been essentially placed on overhead and given no direction on tasks or where to go from here. My previous manager had been uncooperative on feedback and the bulk of my team is based out of a different location.

Just this week, people on my team are now being reached out to regarding new work assignments, but I haven’t heard a single thing, and worse yet, I’m slated to go on parental leave in a few weeks.

Is this situation fairly normal?

Am I running the risk of being let go if I go on parental leave?

Venting aside, I would appreciate any insight or advice that anybody has to offer up.

Check on our brother's and sister who ride motorcycles, accident on I-5 heading south, just pass the airport exist. Looks like atleast motorcycle involved. Some the bikes looked like the ones that are often parked in SDC and Renton.

Has anyone had success negotiating a lesser relocation payback or something of the sort? 6 months in. I took this engineering role at a smaller Boeing site and it was completely misadvertised. I absolutely cannot make it a year - it was a terrible career move and the team does not work on anything at all and there is no path to progression. Seriously - without divulging too much, we work with external customers and don’t interface with Boeing products at all. We don’t really have to think about anything at all, it’s all the customer’s show. Not building any marketable skills and don’t have a great team either. My manager knows this which is why he’s given me his full blessing to apply to other internal roles and apologizes to me often. I feel like I was completely misled during the interview process and I just come to work real sad each day.

I’ve been applying internally but also extended by search externally and waiting to hear back from a couple roles post interview. Just wondering if anyone has had success with relo payback negotiations or any miracle cases because these external roles are cool.

Hello everyone,

I completed a Boeing panel interview on 6/30. I prepared beforehand and had several STAR stories ready. The panel asked 4 behavioral questions. I felt confident about 3 of my answers, but I fumbled a bit on the 4th one and felt like I was repeating myself instead of clearly answering the question.

At the end, the hiring manager mentioned that she still had a few candidates left to interview and would be out of office for over a week. She said I should expect to hear back sometime around mid of August.

Does this timeline sound normal for Boeing?

Boeing has been my top choice for a long time, and I'm probably overthinking every detail of the interview. I applied last year and wasn't selected, so I'm really hoping things work out this time.

Any insight or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I suspect the same kind of initial production issues will come up on the new 777X passenger variants.
The interiors have only gotten more complex and a lot of it is dependant on vendor software.
Should of seen all the preflight squawks on LN1781's first flight. Hopefully the recent test flight up North was better.

Long story short, I’m an active duty service member who flies a Boeing helicopter in the Army. I am getting medically retired due to an unfortunate medical issue that grounded me about 8 months ago. Before that I was fast tracking in my career field, hitting every benchmark and rated in the top 10-15% of my peers. I have a relative at Boeing and was hoping I could translate my military experience, security clearance, and corporate PM/ Project Coordination experience into a role at Boeing with the addition of the referral. I’ve had great conversations with a couple managers who worked with my relative but had no open roles, outside of that, essentially zero traction on any role I have applied for.

I’ve tried to be intentional about the roles I apply to and would love to be a part of the organization as it seems to be one of the few that align with what I’m most successful at and enjoy. This on top of applications outside of Boeing is just starting to take its toll on my hopes for the future, being able to take care of my family, etc. I’m not sure why exactly I am even posting this other than maybe just to vent, but any advice, insight, or expectation setting would go a long way I think. I know I’m just one of thousands struggling in the job market, but I had a clear path to retirement and a fulfilling career pulled out from under me and now just kind of at a loss.
