      Average interview

      Application

      The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BNSF Railway in Feb 2010

      Interview

      Hiring process takes about 1-2 months. After initial contact, receive call for phone interview after about two weeks. Ask 5-6 questions about resume, various projects you've worked on, and likely a surprise question. If you pass this stage, you will be sent to the headquarters for a two day interview. Starts off with short introduction, followed by a 3 hour test. Next is more detailed presentations about jobs and locations. The next day includes a panel interview, and a secondary interview as well.

      Interview

      Applied online and a week later I got redirected to a personality/logic assessment which focused on order and if/or statements. A week has passed since then and I am still waiting for a response.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (El Paso, TX) in Dec 2024

      Interview

      It was a digital interview, and I thought the whole pre recorded interview process was very nice and organized. I will say I wish there was more prep time for each question, that way I can prepare a little more on how to answer the question.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe a time where your team didn't agree with you and you had to persuade them to agree with you.

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Chicago, IL) in Nov 2022

      Interview

      I applied online, and was sent a link to complete a personality test. I was then sent an email informing me of passing and moving on to the next step which was a Hirevue. After about a week or so (It was during Thanksgiving, so communication was delayed), I was sent a hiring event interview link for the final round of interviews. After that, it took about 4 days to get a on offer from HR
