About the company
Boeing designs, manufactures, and services commercial airplanes, defense systems, and space programs for airline and government customers worldwide. The company also runs aftermarket and services work through Boeing Global Services, covering maintenance, upgrades, parts, and digital support. Boeing roles span engineering, manufacturing, program management, cybersecurity, data, and corporate functions. Boeing operates through a mix of large production sites and engineering hubs, alongside smaller specialist locations.
Locations and presence
Boeing has major sites across the United States including Washington state (with large facilities in places like Everett and Renton) alongside many other domestic and international locations. Roles are frequently on-site for production, lab, and classified work, with a meaningful but smaller share of roles advertised as hybrid and a very small share advertised as fully virtual.

Boeing provides multiple early-career entry points at scale, including internships, entry-level hiring, and apprenticeships that do not require a degree in many cases. Learning support is a clear strength thanks to structured rotational programs and funded education options, but mentoring quality can vary by team. Pay transparency is better than many peers because ranges appear in a lot of job ads, while recent workforce reductions reduce the stability picture for graduates joining specific programs or sites.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

18.5
/ 20
  • The company runs a large, recurring internship pipeline across engineering, business, and IT, with standard internship lengths stated for several tracks.
  • Boeing offers structured early-career routes beyond internships, including the two-year Information Technology Career Foundation Program with four six-month rotations.
  • The company also supports non-degree early-career entry through the Boeing Technical Apprenticeship Program, which explicitly says a degree is not required for most apprenticeships.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company publishes an application guide that walks candidates through the application flow and the kinds of compliance questions that may appear for government-contractor roles.
  • Boeing provides candidate-facing interview preparation material outlining that interviews can include multiple rounds and role-related or technical skill questioning, which helps reduce surprise.
  • The company has enough public candidate reports describing slow timelines and uneven updates that the published guidance does not fully translate into a consistently predictable experience.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

16.0
/ 20
  • The company supports structured development through programs like ITCFP rotations and formal apprenticeship pathways that combine training with on-the-job work.
  • Boeing offers substantial education funding through the Learning Together Program, covering tuition and eligible expenses for courses, certificates, and degrees, plus support for selected certifications.
  • The company has mixed public mentoring sentiment, with some employees describing strong support and others describing mentoring as informal or dependent on the local team.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.0
/ 20
  • The company posts salary ranges on many entry-level job listings, which is a concrete pay-transparency signal early-career candidates can use before interviewing.
  • Boeing pays interns and publicly markets internships as paid programs, with third-party pay reporting clustering around mid-$20s per hour for intern roles in the US.
  • The company has had multiple rounds of layoffs and WARN-notice related reductions in 2024–2025, which adds risk for early-career stability in certain business areas and locations.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

13.0
/ 20
  • The company offers defined “next step” pathways through rotational programs and apprenticeships that are designed to move participants into longer-term roles after completion.
  • Boeing has faced workforce reductions over the past year that can disrupt team continuity and internal mobility for early-career hires, depending on org and site.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcomes like internship-to-offer conversion rates, post-program placement rates, or early-tenure retention, which limits how confidently outcomes can be scored from public evidence.
