Candidate interview experiences
First-hand accounts from people who interviewed at BNSF Railway.
Management Trainee
It was a really easy interview for a job that pays 80k/yr. HR asked some simple situational questions that the company provided. Besides the standard 'what would you do in this situation' type questions, they also asked about traffic violations and my motivation for wanting to work there. The job involves 12hr shifts, both day and night, which wasn't ideal for me.
