      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Network Rail (London, England) in Oct 2025

      Interview

      The Network Rail interview process starts with an online application and online assessments, which can include game-based or psychometric tests. Candidates then often proceed to a video interview before an in-person or virtual final interview or an assessment center day that may involve a presentation and behavioural questions. The process assesses skills, experience, and cultural fit through a mix of technical, competency-based, and situational questions.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Thinking about the assessment you've just completed, including this video interview, what do you think went well? What would you have done differently if you had the chance to redo it?
