I applied through university. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Dallas, TX) in Oct 2012
Interview
I talk to them at the career fair and then they called me a few days later and i did a phone interview. after the phone interview they called me back to do an interview in Dallas. the interview process is two days long. the first day they make you take two critical thinking test. the next day you interview with HR and they ask you basic behavior question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
the critical thinking test. more then one answer can be correct so you have to be careful at picking the right one.
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 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.
