I applied online. I interviewed at Network Rail (London, England) in Nov 2017
Interview
Very organised. I was provided a detailed interview schedule. My interview panel made me very comfortable. I enjoyed the interview rather than feeling nervous.
On the interview day, I was asked to complete a case study within 45 minutes. I was then alloted 10 minutes to provide my response to the case study. We then had a round of technical and competency based interview questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Network Rail (York, England)
Interview
Interviewed by 2 employees, 1 the direct hiring manager and another manager from Glasgow office. Firstly they introduced themselves, spoke about the company and the position follow by questions to learn more about the candidate. It followed by competency questions on skills, management and communication. The tougher bit was technical and safety questions. Overall both the managers were extremely nice, friendly and even helpful when I was taking too long to think of answers.
