Interviewed Mar 2012 in Everett, WA (took a day)
I applied for this position the first part of January via the online Resume Builder. A little after 2 months later, I received an email for a Group/Panel interview, along with a brief summary of the interview process (structural interview). About 3 days before the interview, I recieved another email to fill out an actual job application online, so keep that in mind while you are preparing for the actual interview. They want it completed before your interview (however I do not believe the interviewing panel ever saw it beforehand).
The interview consisted of 3 managers, which each asked 2 questions. Be prepared, as they will ask follow-up questions (essentially to better elaborate on your answers). The managers were really down to earth, and very easy to talk to. It really helped to ease the nerves I had walking into the meeting area. They will be writing down notes as you speak, so don't let that distract you. The entire process consisted of about 30 minutes total, and really wasn't that bad, so long as you go through many of the structural interview questions you can find posted both up here, or Googling "Sample STAR Questions". They will ask/inform you NOT to share the questions with others, as the standardized process uses the same questions for each candidate for that job posting.
I was contacted 8 days later with a contingent job offer. It is contingent on passing a successful drug test, background check, and a series of documents verifying you are eligible to work in the United States (this was a job for Everett, Washington). The longest part of the contingencies is the background check, as it can take 3 weeks or more to be completed. After all the contingency steps have been completed, you will be contacted by one of the Global Staffing managers to be given a start date.
My final thoughts are that it was odd just how much of this process was done online, and how little contact was actually made with individuals directly. My first real verbal communication took place at the interview, and with the exception of speaking with the medical professional, everything else was done online up until the start date was given. Please don't expect this to be a fast process. By the time I start working, it will have been over 5 months from when I applied, to my first day of orientation! From a few others I have spoke with who also got hired on, it was about the exact same time-frame as I went through.

(Hint: on the job you have applied for, look at the competencies listed from the job description. EVERY question is related somehow to what is posted up there). As I mentioned above, Google "Sample STAR questions" just to get an idea of the "formatting" of the structured process.
Negotiation Details
After considering it for about 5 days, I opted not to negotiate my wage. I had access to salary information from a friend that works for Boeing, and confirmed they gave me a great offer! If you know somebody working at Boeing, they too have access to the average salary charts, as Boeing posts them up on their intranet. It's definitely worth looking at even if it's just for a piece of mind that they are offering you a fair/good wage.

Interviewed Mar 2010 in Everett, WA (took a day)
The seemed to have a very formal and scripted interview process. It began with a disclaimer to answer every question by describing the circumstances that led to your answer, what you did to respond to those circumstances, and the outcome of your actions. The questions were fairly generic interview questions, i.e tell us about a time you assumed leadership responsibilities

I just had an interview. I practiced and nailed each question. I had a very confident feeling until I got an envelope saying I would hear in two weeks. Is this a good or bad sign?

Interviewed Oct 2011 in Everett, WA (took a day)
Applied via university career website, received a call from Boeing to schedule an on-campus interview. The interview was with three Boeing employees. They asked five questions. You're expected to answer their question using the STAR structure - situation, solution, and results. They take notes as you answer your questions, their notes are actually arranged in three columns for the STAR structure. All five questions are behavioral, so the best way to deal with them is to prepare several stories in advance and match your stories with a given situation. You get a call the next day whether you move on or not.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Everett, WA (took 2 weeks)
I applied online and was called to interview when they were interviewing at my school. The interview was really easy. It consisted of four questions, three behavioral and one about education and experience. They asked almost no follow up questions. They want you to produce very detailed answers with a simple question. Plan on spending 5 minutes or more explaining the situation, action an result. Overall, it was probably one of the easiest interviews I have ever had. Was called two weeks later with a offer.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Everett, WA (took a day)
Started off with a quick ten minute phone interview. Was later asked to attend a 1:1 in person interview. The interviewer asked almost all behavioral based questions. Example: tell us about a time when you had to deal with someone in work or school that was hard to work with. Or, tell us about a major project and what obstacles you had to overcome.
