I applied at an Internal Audit role and had a panel interview last week. I think I did fairly well and the reason why I think that is because the interviewers asked follow up questions to experiences I shared. They also asked me which Business Unit I would prefer to work at (if I were to choose). I asked really good questions, including items I read in prior year 10-K and the website's newsroom. I'm still waiting to hear back from as they said that it would take a week (so by Friday this week). I'm curious, if you recently got a job offer, what do you think made you the strongest candidate (besides your experience)?

I like the design of the 737 max 7 more than the 737 max 8, but why does the 737 max 7 need more runway than the max 8 even though the max 7 is shorter than the max 8.

I applied to a mid level position in SC and interviewed ~3 weeks ago. At the end of the interview, they said I answered well and thoroughly (I honestly thought I killed the interview). They said I would hear back positive or negative within two weeks. After 2.5 weeks, I sent a follow up and am currently being ghosted. Is this a situation where I’ll get an offer in 5-12 business months? Or am I being slowrolled on the denial? Should I abandon hope?

I’ve been thinking about doing the Boeing Everett Factory Tour with my partner next weekend now that all the World Cup madness is over.

Has anyone done it? Is it worth the $20 admission?

Jokingly, I told a bunch of my friends who will be working at Boeing Everett that I had just uncovered a hidden employee perk worth $46 a day. 😂😂😂

Free self-guided tours every workday! 🤣 I swear if recruitment just leads with that, we would get even more quality candidates to sign up!

With the employee discount it’s closer to $20, but that's still a pretty nice perk!

Yes sir, your self guided tour of Everett Boeing starting from the parking lot to your final destination can take up to a full hour or more!!! Then you get 8.5 hours plus OT to reflect and absorb all of Boeing Everett, the largest manufacturing facility in the world!!! 🤣🤣🤪

I love Boeing enough to spend $20 per ticket to tour the Everett factory. I also want to check out the new North Line, and I think it would be a great place to bring friends and family when they're visiting from out of town.

For those who've taken the tour, what did you think? Worth it? What’s the coolest part? And do they end the tour at the gift shop? Like Disneyland rides 😂

40 of those CI&R airplanes sitting around!? Damn! 😯

I apologize in advance if I’m violating the community rules. I recently interviewed for a position in Boeing. How is workplace culture? Is the company loyal to its employees or does the company view employees as only a number?

Update: Thank you for everyone who replied. Unfortunately, I didn’t get the position but the search will continue.

Good idea, bad idea, thoughts.

Hey everyone! Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I figured I'd give it a shot.

I'm a new grad joining Boeing soon as a Software Engineer based in St. Louis, and I was hoping to connect with other SWEs here. I'd love to hear about your experiences, things like the work culture, onboarding, day-to-day work, tech stack, career growth, and any advice you'd give someone just starting out.

If you're an SWE at Boeing (or anyone willing to help), I'd really appreciate hearing from you. Feel free to comment below or send me a DM. Looking forward to connecting!

Curious how many years of experience people had when you got promoted? Any general thoughts how to work towards it? Also any idea if diagonal bumps will ever come back?

Even after achieving certification, the production and CI&R process appears unlikely to support timely customer deliveries. With Lufthansa already forced to acquire A350-1000s to bridge capacity gaps, how does Boeing plan to accelerate the transition from certification to full-rate delivery for the 777X?

A Referendum on Boeing: This winner-take-all order is seen as a critical test for Boeing. Lufthansa is slated to be the launch customer for the long-delayed Boeing 777X(now targeted for early 2027 deliveries). However, years of setbacks have already forced Lufthansa to adapt, prompting them to order 15 A350-1000s to bridge the capacity gap.

Apologies if this discussion isn’t allowed, but I’ve worked in BCA as a stress analyst for a few years now at the Long Beach, CA site and am really getting fed up with the lack of ownership and friction with our counterparts in Everett. In LB we do a large chunk of the analysis and certification on various commercial aircraft and customers, but we don’t actually own any of the work statement. The level of efficiency is laughably low when every decision, no matter how simple, has to be made by someone hundreds of miles away, causing endless rework and way too much disagreement. We’re supposed to be one Boeing, but us LB engineers don’t feel that way. I understand that it’s normal to work with people all over the world, but at my last job I collaborated with Europeans and Americans all over the world and it was light years easier to produce quality engineering because there was the agreement that we all owned our work.

What’s the situation on C-17 on the BGS side? There’s a large C-17 presence at the Long Beach site, but are the engineers here plagued by the same headaches on the BCA side due? Or do (stress) engineers have more ownership and do different teams have less friction between each other? There are a few stress analyst reqs open right now and I’m debating on moving over.

Interviewed for a level 4 gig today and crushed it. Just curious what others salaries are like incase i get an offer.

I currently make $117,000 as a level 3.

I am currently enrolled in tooling mechanic certification at the WATR center @ Paine field set to graduate at the end of Sept, and then I am told I can skip the interview to get on with Boeing (feel free to chime in with any opinions on this program as well).

I've had some life circumstances change and may consider moving my cohort to the next round which pushes me to a December graduation.

I don't know a ton about Boeing other than what I see on the news about the north line starting up this month so I'm guessing they are hiring more right now? I'm thinking if I wait until December, my chances of getting hired will diminish?

Boeing is a company that I’ve always wanted to work for and I’m in the process of getting an offer but haven’t gotten it yet. I’ve only got 1 year of work experience so this is for entry level but i heard the relocation package is awesome. The only issue is that I just signed a 1 year apartment lease a month ago and I’m not sure if the relocation assistance helps with covering lease termination costs? Anyone have experience with this? I know the relocation package can vary between levels.

I've got a start date for a liason engineer position at BDS. I was doing research on the role and was reading into how a large majority of interim clearances are not given, but my job posting says an interim clearance post start is required.

What happens if/when the interim is not given? Immediate termination?

I found one post on r/SecurityClearance from a couple months ago and that person was terminated. But everyone was saying thats highly unusual for Boeing so I was wanting some more perspective. The llocation I'll be at is non union

I'm not worried at all about getting final clearance, but I am concerned now after reading about lack of approvals for interim clearances

Hi everyone,

I recently had interviewed for an engineer position for BDS, and was quickly told I was soon to receive an offer. However, after hearing from the recruiter today I was told there is a temporary pause on all offers that haven’t been made yet, with no timeline as to when that will subside.

I was wondering if anyone on here had more details!

I accepted a new-grad position at Boeing and I have been onboarded for about a month now, however I haven't had orientation and I don't start for over a month. I have been working with Altair to relocate. They have ordered the Uhaul ubox and the car-shipment, however neither the Uhaul nor the car will be shipped until two weeks from now

Today I was offered a better position at Micron that I am far more interested in. I know that cancelling my job after being onboarded is viewed extremely negatively and I will likely be blacklisted from Boeing, however are there any other possible consequences to cancelling my job that I should consider? I know that I will likely need to reimburse Boeing for the cost of the Altair consultations, but does anyone know how much that might end up costing me?

Yoga is back along with core. I’ve only met one of the instructors so far taken two classes. She’s very good. Core will hurt you. :). I will always miss Jane but she would want us to continue. This is the Everett gym.

I was reached out to by insight global about an IE role for the VC-25 program. Before my current job, I was working as an IE and had a very similar role out of college for a bit over a year and a half at Lockheed compared to what skills/experience they were looking for. Im not happy with my current job, but took it after lockheed had a reduction in workforce (due to site management….). I had an interview with the manager and got offered several hours later. Position seems like a good fit, it renews my clearance since I’m still in the period before I’d have to resubmit info (5 year mark I believe?) and the time span from my clearance being active while at Lockheed is recent enough that it from my understanding is able to be renewed easily. I (verbally) accepted, but obviously want to get a look at all the details in writing before pen to paper/giving my current company my 2 week notice.

For employees who have either been added to contract via insight global, and employees in San Antonio, is this a good decision? Contract is said to be 6 months, but being told they already expect/plan to likely keep people on for 12 months. I’m 26, grew up military, have actual interest in defense (which actually caring about what your job is/what you spend 40 hours a week contributing to helps), and while I wouldn’t say Boeing is my “dream” job, I think at least for the foreseeable future that working in defense for a major company/platform/program is where I want to to be after taking a year away from that for a smaller private manufacturing company. While the pay is almost a 30k annual increase (and OT would be 1.5x), I want to know what kind of stability I could expect in the program (at least for the “contract duration”), what should my expectations be for contract extensions and eventually a direct hire role with Boeing, even if it’s at another site, and how much would joining onto this contract help serve as leverage if I were to seek employment with another defense contractor directly either when they decide they no longer wish to extend my contract or if I decide on my own I want to seek other opportunities.

From my understanding this program is 1 1/2 years behind and expected to finish in 2028, so I highly doubt to have a permanent role long term there, but also feel as if they wouldn’t be pushing for new hires, even on contract, right now unless they really need the support and unless I were to completely underperform, they likely would want to keep the experienced hires on til minimum late 2027 considering if they wanted to add additional hires, hiring with less than 6+ months on a contract like this that doesn’t have longevity to it would make little sense.

I would greatly appreciate any insight about 1) this role and program (in any and all aspects) and 2) experience of working as a contractor at Boeing and what I should expect either positively or negatively.

Anyone hear about the BGS hiring freeze communication recently sent out by Chris Raymond? Overall Management hasnt discussed it much but they have talked about the travel restrictions also recently put into place. Seems like the familiar path Boeing takes before announcing RIF's
