I have applied for several positions in product management/ IT space for Boeing. Some of them are as old as two months and under workday candidate portal it still shows under consideration, is it normal? How do I know if they are actively reviewing the application or they have already shortlisted other candidates for the interview?

That is a really good question because that happens to me at other companies too. I always assume if it is under review that long that I am not going to get a call or email. I wonder if there is someone there that you could reach out to in order to ask.

I can't imagine there's any way to get any insight about what's happening internally until you hear something. With all the economic uncertainty now, it's possible they're just slow walking any hiring. It seems like a lot of organizations are doing pretty much the same thing, as they're hesitant to add anyone to the payroll right now.

The short answer is you don’t know what they are doing. I have an application from February that still says under consideration. Find it doubtful they take that long, but everywhere is different, too.

As someone who's worked in the Defence industry for over 20 years for many companies, including Boeing, I can tell you that Defence companies that win (or expect to win) contracts are also impacted by when the contract actually commences; it's not uncommon for them to be delayed months (especially government contracts).

This is something that all Defence companies must deal with.

I've found that Boeing Australia's HR department is consistently AWOL when it comes to feedback UNLESS they need someone immediately AND you are that person. You will need to nag them constantly yourself, there is NO ongoing feedback regarding the position.

I've had some follow-up interview requests from Boeing weeks after my applications that I had to turn down because I'd already accepted other jobs and had heard nothing at all from Boeing.

My advice to applicants:
Keep your Boeing application expectations low and don't "hold out" for it over other options.

My advice to Boeing HR:
"Get your act together!", applicants NEED feedback, even if it's just to say that the project has been delayed or that they're still being considered - you're losing a lot of potential employees and some may never even bother applying due to past Boeing application experiences.

I completed my interview loop at Google on August 12, 2022. My recruiter informed me on August 29th that due to a couple of realignments within the org, the hiring manager has not shared any feedback. I was informed on September 8th that the hiring committee is scheduled the next day (September 9th) and that I can expect a final feedback latest by September 12th. I wasn’t informed of the results and reached out, but the recruiter isn’t replying to my emails. Does this mean I was rejected?

So my questions is, I think they are going to offer around 80k but I don’t think their going to be guaranteed bonuses with the offer. Should I negotiate a bonus to the salary or negotiate a higher salary?

It used to be the case that you could never say anything in the slightest negative about your old position/employer/etc when applying for a new job.

Since that is now the case… Is it now OK to say that I left my last position because of toxic company culture, or something of the sort? Or still a huge NO-NO?
