      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Network Rail

      Interview

      Online test and interview. The same tests as many other public sector grad schemes like NHS, BII etc. This means you can practice it and have a go at it before you actually do it for the first time

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work at NW?
      Answer question
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Network Rail

      Interview

      General application form followed by a psychometric game which was an app that I downloaded on to my phone. This was followed by a video interview. The app was good and an a more interesting way of testing than other companies. Video interview was all situational based questions. Communication was pretty poor at every stage of the process. No updates via email were sent and I had to keep logging into their portal to see if there were any changes to my application. No updates at all were given for 3 months after I had completed the video interview until my final rejection. I think Network Rail need to improve on this aspect of their application process as it did not make me feel like my effort to apply was valued in any way.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      You already have a deadline from your line manager but another more senior colleague has requested your assistance on a different project which will impact on your deadline. How do you proceed?
