I applied through college or university. I interviewed at BNSF Railway
Interview
I submitted my application, and within a few days I was contacted by someone in the company to have a phone interview. After I passed the phone interview, I was contacted by Hector to continue with the interview process. I had to book my flight and hotel through a third-party that they outsourced the work to. Although I had some complications with it, the problem was fixed for me at the last minute. The place I stayed at was beautiful, and they took care of me well. The first day was the tests and learning about the company. The second day was the interview. I thought it went great; however I was not offered a position with them.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked a lot of questions about groupwork or problems that might occur when in a team.
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.
