I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2024
Interview
There were two parts, one was a programming style interview with two hiring managers. It was really reasonable question if you've studied, no tricks but they were a sticker for being accurate to the prompt. I accidentally returned the answer when they wanted to print the answer.
The second part was about my background, they asked questions where I had done Embedded Software Engineering before.

Interview
Just completed a HireVue prescreen assessment, where i am prompted by videos and respond with my own cameras. It consisted of 2 behavioral STAR type questions and a coding challenge. It was a challenge problem from a old programming competition.
I applied online. I interviewed at Boeing in May 2026
Interview
First round was HireVue, so you're talking to a camera. It consisted of 2 behavioral STAR type questions and a coding challenge. I expected the coding challenge to be reasonable based on reviews, it was not. It was a challenge problem from the final round of a 1991 programming competition. I understand this is the "best" method companies have come up with to measure developers but at least make it something reasonable or realistic.
The technical portion was one question. Mostly STAR-based questions and things pulled directly from my resume. Which taught me something I wish I had understood earlier: the interview process isn't just about what you can code. It's about whether you can speak clearly and confidently about the work you've already done.
