I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at CN
Interview
Initially, they invite you to do a pre-recorded interview and based off of that they will decide to invite you to the next stage or not. The next stage consists of an online interview with a hiring manager.
Applied mid December 2025, was contacted for a hr phone screen about three months later in early march. A week later was contacted by the lead hr rep and the manager for the team I would be interning with for a second interview, this time face to face using teams. About two weeks later I received an offer through my applicant portal.
Communication was not great throughout the interview process, each time I was asked for a interview, instead of being asked what times and days worked for me, they would automatically schedule a date and time without consulting me about whether that time and date actually worked for me. It was very difficult to get responses back from the hr rep that I was working with after my phone screen, sometimes a response would take a week and other times I would get no response at all. I also never received notification of my offer through email, I only happened to check my applicant portal on the day that I received my offer to find that I had gotten the position.
Although the interviews itself was easy, I recommend that CN standardize their interview process.
