I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BNSF Railway in Mar 2012
Interview
First you submit your application online. Then about two weeks later you are notified that they want to schedule a phone interview with you. If you pass that phase they will bring you out to dallas for another interview. On the first day you take a personality/IQ test. If you dont pass this phase you will not be able to continue the interviewing process
Very easy interview for a job paying 80k/yr. Simple situational questions provided by the company for HR to ask. Other than the classic "what would you do in this situation" questions, they asked if I had any traffic violations, why I want to work there, etc. The schedule is 12hr workdays both during the day and overnight, which did not align with what I was looking for,
I applied through college or university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Seattle, WA) in Jan 2025
Interview
interview was great asked a little bit about my background and some behavioral questions. They also asked scenarios about safety and what approach you would take in such situation. Also asked what I liked to do outside of work
Did HireView interview and got selected for full interview. Wasted whole day doing multiple interviews with BNSF that went very well, just for them to completely ghost me and never even respond to my emails. They claimed "You had a great interview, we will be in touch by Friday", and then never responded even after a few emails I sent. Unbelievably unprofessional.
