Interview
The interview process was very straightforward. Two interviewers sat across from me using laptops to read questions off verbatim, and input my verbatim answers.
Interview Questions
One question they asked is how I have used my financial analysis skillset in the past. Whether or not I have had any experience with things like cost-analyses, etc.

I explained that the financial analysis tools I used were during my time running my own small real estate business. I used scenario analyses in order to establish potential cash flows and profit from investment opportunities. This is the hardest questions I had to answer because I do not generally consider financial analysis a huge part of my small business.

Interview
It was a two on one interviewing process with both a Vice President and a recent MBA graduate Associate.
Interview Questions
The interviewer asked me about very specific details of a recent deal that they had covered. I was under the impression that this was going to be more of a coffee chat than an interview and did not come prepared having known about all of their most recent deals. They also asked about current market conditions in M&A and also some ideas that I had about companies that may merge or be acquired soon. They also asked me a few basic accounting questions and also to run them through an overview of a DCF.

The phone interview was pretty basic get to know you type stuff. The panel interview was very standard STAR questions.
Interview Questions
The questions themselves weren't very difficult themselves. They were very standard STAR type questions. "Tell me about a time when..." Almost not technical questions in the interview. The number of STAR questions was somewhat challenging so not repeat stories. There were probably like 10-15 questions which can be a lot if you are a person who is early in their career. The only other difficult part of the interview that I could forsee is the fact that there were 4 managers in the room. This could be overwhelming to some.

Interview
Applied online in late September. They used to recruit on campus, but stopped a few years ago.

Was given 1 week to prepare for interview, and received an offer within 2 days of the interview.
Interview Questions
Questions:

1. Tell me a bit about yourself, your background, your interests, and your hobbies.

2. Why Boeing?

3. Tell me about a time when you had a conflict with a co-worker and how you resolved it.

Other than those 3, I would say to prepare for your behavioral as you would for any general finance interview. Make sure you know why you want to work at Boeing, and read some news on the company before you interview. You might also want to brush up on some basic accounting (3 financial statements, how depreciation affects all 3, etc..).

Interview
I approached Boeing at OCR. Initial interview was the next day on campus. I interviewed with two employees that had gone through the Boeing Business Intern program. Once I was in the interview it was more Boeing trying to sell me on Boeing. The interview was very simple. Within a month of the initial interview I received a call from HR with an offer.
Interview Questions
The interview was basic. After giving my "story" there were 4 or 5 behavioral interview questions about past experiences. I referenced internship experience for most questions and case competitions for the others. After the questions were complete the interview continued but was much more conversational. Just have good questions prepared.

Interview
Went to school career fair and recruiting events and networked with recruiters and current financial analysts that came. Literally got called up the next morning inviting me for a first round interview on campus. First round interview consisted of behavioral questions based on leadership, teamwork, and finance experience. Notified a few weeks later for a second round interview in Seattle. Second round interview consisted of behavioral and a few basic technical questions (three financial statements, what's is NPV, given two projects which NPV to choose, etc.). Process there after was a little hectic since I had to wait a month or so to hear back from them to receive an analyst offer. Overall an enriching and positive experience but took quite a while.
Interview Questions
I was asked "how many of our products can you name". They weren't expecting a long hauled detailed specific answer simply naming the types of planes would be enough.

Group Interview
Interview
During senior year at college. I received confirmation that I had passed the resume screen for a three year Finance rotation program and was contacted about setting up a group phone interview. The phone interview consisted of three Boeing employees (Manager, Senior Manager, and HR Manager) and was primarily consisted of a behavioral questions (challenging scenarios, working within a diverse group, biggest weakness question, etc.) and a description of the rotation expectations. The interview lasted approximately 45 minutes. In this instance I received an offer 2-3 weeks later without any further interview.

General advice to other interviewees is to know your story inside and out and be prepared with legitimate examples of times you worked with difficult/diverse teams in college.
Interview Questions
Can you explain a time where you worked within a diverse group? What were the challenges and did you achieve your objective.
Can you describe what your biggest weakness is and a time that it lead to a failure. What have you done to improve upon it?
