I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at BNSF Railway (La Crosse, WI) in Jul 2014
Interview
You meet with a large group of pre-screened applicants for one on one interviews. Drug tests are sometimes given on the spot regardless of an offer. You go over a safety briefing which seems odd but safety is all the company is about. Several people from various crafts will talk and also sit in on the interviews. They love to hire family and friends of current employees. They will try to scare you away regarding the tough life, long/erratic hours, etc....some guys got up and left LOL
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They stress safety, asking many safety related questions
Sat in a room with a couple people from HR. They asked the most bland canned questions you can imagine. Seems like this step had little to do with questions and more to do with feeling out candidates.
