In the landscape of large government, private business, and defense contracts at Boeing, the organization has developed a thorough code of conduct for its staff and day-to-day operations. Included in this code of conduct is procedural language on ethics within the organization. Your interviewer wants to get a sense of your ethics and how they will guide your work with Boeing.

Read up on the Boeing code of conduct for staff on their website before your interview. Think of a time you felt your ethics were challenged on the job. As you discuss the situation, highlight the personal dilemma and how you worked through the situation.

"In my first job out of college, it didn't take me long to realize that I had joined a toxic workplace culture where favoritism won over performance and bullying was overlooked. After becoming close with a few colleagues, I could tell that many were ethically challenged by the situation but kept quiet about it and kept their nose in their work. They also advised that talking to leaders about it would go nowhere. At that point, I began a job search for a company where respect, integrity, and a great culture were rewarded, and I'm happy I found that in my current employer for the past eight years."
