I applied through university. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Fort Worth, TX) in Oct 2017
Interview
Took a personality assessment online and did a recorded interview before moving onto the final round of interviews. At the actual hiring event, they did a company presentation, a realistic job preview, and then conducted an interview later in the day.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked to keep the interview questions confidential but they were very basic behavioral questions. The overall experience of the hiring event would have been ok if it had not been for the interviewers' unprofessionalism: They were yawning quite openly and looked like they were about to fall asleep.
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,

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.
