Other Staff Software Engineer interview reviews for BNSF Railway
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.
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).
