I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Boeing
Interview
Expect a long process of lengthy waits and short bursts of activity.
Bit of a different circumstance here. I had a friend who was working there and he passed along my resume and a good referral. I was then contacted by a person who acted as the focal point of staffing in that division. After a bit of work, we found a position that I could fulfill and we scheduled an interview.
I've read that Boeing uses resume keyword scanning for their online applications and it can be a lengthy process. Having an internal reference can really help the process along.
Flew out to the job site and held a group interview. Started off by going through my resume and discussing how each experience tied in with the job description. Moved into a technical presentation on a prior project. Then there were 4-5 standard STAR format questions. Be prepared by having a situation in mind for the major behavioral questions. My interview was actually cut short due to an earlier flight back home. Took a rushed tour of the facilities. The hiring group had follow-up questions by email due to the rushed interview. After I answered any concerns, I was told that the job was mine.
Three weeks later was when I actually received an official job offer from staffing. Upon acceptance, there are several forms as well as a drug test that must be completed within two days. A background check then takes about two weeks. After that, there is pre-employment processing and orientation. Your official start date is the day of your orientation.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What assignment was too difficult for you, and how did you resolve the issue?
I applied online. I interviewed at Boeing (Albuquerque, NM) in Mar 2021
Interview
Received a direct email from the hiring manager to schedule an interview call with a panel of 4 people. Very pleasant experience during the whole phone call. Questions consisted of a mix between behavioral questions and technical questions from the lead engineer on the panel. Technical questions pertained to stuff on my resume like software used and how it was used to personal projects and how they were done. Answered with detail to all the questions asked. Behavioral questions were similar to the questions posted here about working with difficult team members, overcoming technical challenges at work, etc.. This interview was very different than the typical STAR method interview with only behavioral questions asked. HR asked behavioral while the lead engineer asked technical questions.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Boeing (Arlington, TX) in Jul 2017
Interview
I went to a hiring event Boeing had in my area and talked to the assigned managers for my job area. I was then scheduled for a phone interview the following week and it covered STAR based interview questions. There were about 5 or 6 questions and I felt pretty good about them until the last 2, which kind of threw me off so I thought I wouldn't get the job, but a week later I got a call and an offer for that position and accepted it.

Question 1
Give me a time when you had to work alone on a project or assignment.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Boeing (Saint Louis, MO) in Mar 2017
Interview
I only had one phone interview with two managers. They asked about five behavioral interview questions about my skills and experience. The questions were fairly basic but I was well prepared. One manager even asked about alumni who were working at the same site. Overall it was a very comfortable interview experience.
