What is the hiring process like at Boeing?

10% 401K Matching No tuition limit on STEM majors Except for Master's degrees, employees are not required to pay back time to the company for having paid their tuition. That includes, graduate certificates. Good health, dental, and vision benefits - unless you are young and healthy, then it's a little pricey HSA account offered Networking opportunities are endless; i.e., conferences, groups/clubs, organizations and employee engagement events every month Salary is very competitive - especially for those employed in Missouri - as the cost of living is much cheaper than other Boeing sites

Like many companies, Boeing has felt the impact of COVID-19, the Great Resignation, and supply chain interruptions. Therefore, the culture, the hiring process, and opportunity for career growth within the company has suffered. Due to new projects and factors outside of Boeing's control, Boeing has been experiencing a lot of turnover. Therefore, now Boeing requires it's employee's to remain within a role for at least 18 months before moving to a new role - unless they have an exception or manager approval. So, instead of: - Improving how they find quality candidates - Providing the accurate description of what the duties and responsibilities of the role are - Interviewing with the manager they would be reporting to - Offering in person interviews for the opportunity to meet potential teammates Employees are forced to stay in a role they may not have been able to accurately vet before accepting an offer for. In my experience, I've noticed that there is no audit on the auditors. Meaning, no one is sustaining standard practices such as performance reviews. Everyone usually receives the 'meets expectations' on paper, even if they performed exceedingly for the year in reality. There aren't tailored opportunities for education and/or career development, or a set strategy for helping employees improve their skills to align themselves with their appropriate level and know where they need to improve to move to the next level.

terrible time and very unprofessional

the company hiring process was too easy and too beauracratical

Boeing is a leading aerospace and defense company with a global presence. Working at Boeing does not limit one to a single organization but opens doors to various divisions and projects within the company to carve a fulfilling career journey.

There's a reason why there's a lot of turnover within the HR and TA space. There's a lot of reinventing the wheel, i.e., job family alignment. There's a lack of transparency, there are a lot of dinosaurs that are not willing to adapt to new processes, there's a lack of trust with hiring managers. There are a lot of recruiters that lack knowledge, and unfortunately, they burn out because they are not set up for success. A good leader should be able to work with different personalities and communication styles. The ability to understand, encourage, and support team members' growth and success is a crucial leadership skill. Unfortunately, there's very little emphasis on that, and it's funny how they emphasize so much on DEI. A lot of companies have to have an emphasis on DEI so that they are compliant. It's a joke. A lot of folks just stick around because they're complacent - they have very little motivation to do better, make a difference, or give back. They're just waiting for time to retire and collect.

Great for seeing what the workforce is like while in college. You learn a lot and meet great people. Everyone is very helpful.

Slightly unorganized in their hiring process probably do to their big size and disconnect through work sites.

Easy interview process to get hired

Does not care about their People, will leave you in the dark with decision making

Salary negotiation is very flexible.

It takes a long time for hiring process

Exciting work, Knowledgeable colleague, Opportunity to learn from seniors and via class from Boeing Structural University

Promotion process is complicated and convoluted

Mixed environment. Old school engineering teams from 777 days and prior are thinning out, the people and skills that were the backbone of making Boeing successful. If you are lucky to work in one of these teams you will learn a lot.

Replacing the old school teams is a bureaucracy of middle management and project managers that act as intermediaries for upper management that need basic information fed to them in stoplight charts. Red is bad, yellow is caution, green is good. Anything deeper that requires the management to expose thier lack of skill so they start yelling and telling you had bad you are, you are not a team player, etc. The original 777 took 5 years to develop a clean slate airplane. 777X (a derivative of the 777) started in 2013, was supposed to be done in 2019, and won't be delivered until 2027 if they are lucky, 9 years longer than the original. This is pure and simply because of all the middlemen who don't add value. These middlemen didn't exist before. As a new hire out of college I had meetings will Alan Mullaly. Today's Boeing the leaders are layers away, hiding behind the middlemen. This leads to politics, CYA, you name it.

Teams are very friendly and welcoming and actually give you work that helps contribute to what they're doing

Onboarding process was painful at times and not always the most helpful

Great company to work for

Takes awhile to go through hiring process.
