I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Network Rail (London, England) in Feb 2019
Interview
Online application, followed by an situational judgement test and an interactive phone application test. If you pass the app test, a video interview stage is held. Passing the video interview stage results in an interview date.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
A deadline for your line manager and finance manager are coming up. Your finance manager has asked you to finish their deadline ahead of the agreed date, how would you respond?
The interview was generally professional and friendly. Questions focused on competencies, safety, and diversity. For senior roles, a presentation was also required.
While the interviewers were pleasant, it seemed like they had already made a decision about the role. One interviewer was late and had technical issues, and all the questions were read directly from a script. The interviewers showed little interest, reinforcing my feeling that the outcome was predetermined.
I spent several days preparing for the presentation and traveled a long distance to attend the interview. It would have saved a lot of time if they had simply canceled the interview rather than going through the motions when they weren't interested.
