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.

Applied online in late September. They used to recruit on campus, but stopped a few years ago. I began sending out cold emails in September, but did not get in touch with anyone at the time I got my interview. 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..).

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.

Phone Interview
Interview
Had three phone interviews. The first phone interview was a very brief HR screening of around 2-3 questions. The second phone interview was done by the same HR people and was a 2 on 1 screening. This was your regular behavioral interview. The last phone interview was done by the potential intern's manager, which again was a regular behavioral interview. Before your first phone interview, you will get a online pdf packet to fill out your desired positions (Finance, Supply Chain, Operations, each has about 6 different internships within it). Before your third interview, you will get another document that will tell you exactly what you will be doing. Boeing seems a little bit disorganized, but that may be because the company I was interviewing with was somewhat recently acquired by Boeing and was allowed to function essentially by itself.
Interview Questions

Please tell us about a time where you had to deal with a difficult teammate.

I was a lead for a shipping team and many of the team members came to me to complain about another member's lack of effort. I chose to speak with the member one-on-one and talk about his goals and aspirations in order to show him how he could achieve what he desired by putting in effort and contributing to the team.

Why Boeing? Out of all the companies you could do supply chain management for, why Boeing? How did you find out about supply chain management positions at Boeing?
Tell me about a time you helped a group work together? One time I worked for a two-year old startup software company that specialized in engineering and then implementing high performance computing software (HPC).
