Interviewed Oct 2011 in Saint Louis, MO (took 4+ weeks)
Pretty much as everyone else has said, STAR interview technique. The interviewers give you a prompt, such as "Describe a time when you had to lead a diverse team and how you tailored your approach to the different groups of people." You then have to describe the situation in which you dealt with this issue, the tasks that you were required to perform or the actions you took, and the results of those actions.
The interviewers in my case were not particularly friendly and could not answer many of the questions I had about the specific position, although they were knowledgeable about Boeing in general. Overall, the interview left me feeling less excited about the position.

Reason for Declining
The interviewers told me I would hear back either way within 5 days. When I finally received the offer a little over a month later, I had already accepted a job elsewhere.
Other Details
I got the interview through a College or University and the interview consisted of a Group/Panel Interview.

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 Oct 2011 (took 2 weeks)
Went for an interview a while back and was asked about 5 structured questions. Questions like ‘Describe a situation where you to deal with a difficult customer, explain what steps you took and the outcome’. While you are answering the questions, the 2 people interviewing you, someone from HR department and your prospective immediate boss will be writing down your answers onto a pre-filled out interview form. You don’t get to see what was written down. After the structured interview component of the interview, you get to ask whatever questions you want. The interview atmosphere was business-like and somewhat stiff. There was no personality questions asked during the interview.

The behavioral based STAR questions were predictable. There was not much of a conversation. I would answer the question and they would move on to the next quesiton. Hard to determine what their opinion or feeling was about the success of the interview.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
Gave a resume at a career fair and got an interview. At the interview they asked situational questions and asked specifically to answer them with the S.T.A.R. format. After the interview they asked me to participate in a group interview where 5 of us were given a task and had to work together to solve it. They looked for professional communication, balanced contributing/listening skills, creative ideas and team work abilities.

Interviewed Oct 2011 (took a day)
I talked to one of the engineers at a college job fair and he invited me for an on-site interview after two days. The interview was scheduled a week after the job fair so there's enough time to prepare. I kind of search up the Boeing interview questions and found out most of their questions are behavioral based so I didn't really spend time on the technical stuff.
The first interview was a group panel interview that requires you to work with other applicants. You are asked to read the description of an known issue they have (of course, they made this up) and then you need to come up with your own solution. After couple minutes of thinking, you are now asked to discuss with other applicants to come up with a final solution. Eventually the team needs to present the final solution to the interviewers. The process wasn't bad at all but the interviewers were watching us and taking notes the entire time, which made it a little awkward.
After this interview there's another 2:1 interview that asked you stuff on your resume and some behavioral questions.
Lastly, they took all the applicants to the labs for a tour and show us all the cool stuff.
The entire interview took around 6 hours. Overall I believe I did fairly well in both (I mean, how can you f**k up a behavioral interview?) and they said they will let us know the results around 1~2 weeks no matter you get the offer or not.
I got the offer for a summer internship after one week from the interview.

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 Apr 2009 in Saint Louis, MO (took a day)
I applied via their website. It was a panel interview, with 4 interviewers. They ask behavioral questions, ie, "Tell me about a time when......" and you have to give an example of what you did in that circumstance. If you apply for any job at Boeing, I would say to really study the job description, then translate that into behavioral questions that might be asked. ie, if "ability to work with other departments" is noted on the job description, think of some concrete and detailed examples of how you have done this successfully in the past. Check out jobinterviewquestions.org for more information on behavioral interviews.
The people interviewing me were very nice, professional, and tried to make me feel comfortable - panel interviews can be intimidating if you've not been through one. They seemed genuinely interested in finding the right fit, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to have tons of experience and high level degrees.
The culture seems to be serious yet relaxed - ie, work very hard but have fun in the process.
