      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Network Rail in May 2024

      Interview

      It was good exposure, consisting of two rounds. The first focused on experience and resume. The second was a competency-based interview with 6-8 questions in the Milton Keynes office. Questions were not so tough.

      Business Analyst Interview

      7 Feb 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Milton Keynes, England
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Network Rail (Milton Keynes, England) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      From applying online there was a 2 stage process. 1) 1-to-1 telephone interview 2) A face to face interview with a presentation I had a telephone interview which lasted 20 minutes on 10/12/17 - folIowing my success in the phone interview they scheduled the face-to-face interview for 23/01/18 (which I still don't understand why it taken them so long when the interviewer on the phone mentioned they need BA's as soon as possible). Progressing to the face-to-face interview; I had the team leader pick me up from reception and gave me the presentation task and I sat in the interview room for 1hr 15mins by myself. at this point I was hoping at least the hiring manager would show their face and introduce themselves and the process however this was not the case. After giving the presentation; I had the face-to-face interview and during this time I found out 2 things: 1) the job I applied for (Senior Business analyst); was not the job I was being interviewed for as the role they ended up being interviewed for was a Junior Business Analyst. 2) the salary advertised was also less than advertised since they told me I'm interviewing for. Concluding the interview; they also asked my current and expected salary which I felt was unprofessional and unnecessary. To conclude; this is the worst managed end-to-end process that I have ever experienced, as not only was I lied to about the role which I applied for; but also the lack of communication that I had regarding this whole process. They didn't need to take more than 6 weeks from phone interview to face-to-face and really could have done a better job in making me feel welcomed once I was on site (e.g. Having Hiring manager introduce themselves 1st)

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about a time when you had to motivate or encourage a colleague? Tell me about a time when you had to maintain a high level of ethical standards at work? Tell us about a situation at home or within the workplace where you had a potential safety issue and how did you resolve it?
