      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Fort Worth, TX) in Dec 2015

      Interview

      I applied through their website online. Then you take a online assessment that is about 100 questions and just asks basic mathematical and logic questions. Next you'll do a twenty to thirty minute phone interview. Finally, they'll ask you to come to a hiring event in Ft Worth TX. This was a decent experience, they sell the company to you and have you take a critical thinking assessment. Finally on the second day you have a formal behavioral interview. The whole process took just over a month.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      When is one time you have taken lead on a project, how did it turn out, and what would you have done differently?

      Had a video interview, then had to pass an assessment, then got invited to a hiring event at the corporate headquarters where an in person interview occurred. All interview questions were behavioral based questions and the in person interview felt very comfortable.

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Fort Worth, TX) in Apr 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was 2-steps for me. I applied in late January/early February and had a phone interview in early March. After about a week I heard back for a final interview in Fort-Worth. They flew me out mid-April and it was a full day event meeting people from the department, lunch and then the interview with 3 people. After that I heard back within 2 weeks. This was the process for me, I know they also had a similar process in the fall as well.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The phone interview was basically getting to know you and then the final interview is behavioral.
