I applied through other source. The process took 6 days. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Seattle, WA) in May 2025
Interview
I received an email requesting that I take Given a two task "take home" technical assessment via Codily. I was given up to 7 days to start and less than 2 hours to complete once begun. No outside reference material was allowed (e.g. no API docs). The Codily "IDE" has no code-completion or other assistance features; it's just a text editor with a run against tests button and out pane.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Two _closed book_ Java coding tasks. First was a relatively easy Java Streams filter/map problem. The second required detailed knowledge developing Spring Aspects (AOP).
Completed the 1st round and waiting for loop rounds. Looking forward for the process and will update once that completed. In loop rounds i have total of 5 rounds and scheduled for 5 hours. Not sure about the process after that
I received a auto-generated email over the Thanksgiving holidays saying I had 7 days to complete the coding challenge. I emailed the generic 'hr' email ( there was no recruiter listed ) and got 'someone will reply in the next 3 days'
I was tempted to eject them, but decided to give the codility challenge a try. Warning - it was not a 'leet' code question like the codility examples and it wasn't in the same format as the codility examples. One was 'write a mock in pytest' which is not something I can do off the top of my head.
