      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I interviewed at BNSF Railway (Seattle, WA) in Mar 2026

      Interview

      After submitting the application, I get the OA questions in 1 week. But after completing the OA questions, I have not heard any update. As far as I have being, I only faced the 2 Online Assessment questions to finish in 70 mins.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The question is mainly about how to implement RESTful API with requests and responses, also complete the required the unit tests. It's not algorithms questions, so should be fair enough to resolve the problems if you have related experience.

      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      14 Aug 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at BNSF Railway in Aug 2025

      Interview

      The recruiter was pleasant to talk to and I was enthusiastic about continuing the process. Following that I received a Codility test. Did a bunch of practice questions to familiarize myself with the interface, then started up the "real" test. Oh dear. The test is not one that validates programming and problem solving skills, but one that effectively tests how much of the Spring Framework documentation has been memorized. Use of an external IDE is not permitted (so no adding imports easily), nor are any external references permitted. The second test was a little better, and after adding debugging code I was able to determine that my code was working correctly per the specification, however the tests that had been created to validate the code failed. In short, the Codility tests are set up to fail the candidate from the outset. So based on this I have come to the conclusion that BNSF has no intention of hiring anyone.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I was asked about my interest in joining BNSF.
