I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Boeing (Everett, WA) in Sep 2010
Interview
I applied online and was called to interview when they were interviewing at my school. The interview was really easy. It consisted of four questions, three behavioral and one about education and experience. They asked almost no follow up questions. They want you to produce very detailed answers with a simple question. Plan on spending 5 minutes or more explaining the situation, action an result. Overall, it was probably one of the easiest interviews I have ever had. Was called two weeks later with a offer.

I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boeing in Oct 2011
Interview
It was a behavioral interview. It was for an internship position and I hadn't yet had any experience in the field of engineering. Inter view consisted of 4 questions. Answer should be given based on the S.T.A.R method.
The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Boeing (Saint Louis, MO) in Apr 2009
Interview
I applied via their website. It was a panel interview, with 4 interviewers. They ask behavioral questions, ie, "Tell me about a time when......" and you have to give an example of what you did in that circumstance. If you apply for any job at Boeing, I would say to really study the job description, then translate that into behavioral questions that might be asked. ie, if "ability to work with other departments" is noted on the job description, think of some concrete and detailed examples of how you have done this successfully in the past. Check out jobinterviewquestions.org for more information on behavioral interviews.
The people interviewing me were very nice, professional, and tried to make me feel comfortable - panel interviews can be intimidating if you've not been through one. They seemed genuinely interested in finding the right fit, which doesn't necessarily mean you have to have tons of experience and high level degrees.
The culture seems to be serious yet relaxed - ie, work very hard but have fun in the process.
