Pros

The managers on the Compensation/Benefits/HRIS team are wonderful to work with! The atmosphere is very supportive, collaborative, and positive as team members work together with common goals of excellence and supporting other BNSF employees.

Cons

Like much of corporate America, the company culture is declining as external pressures minimize the 'we care about our BNSF family' atmosphere.

Pros

The company is undergoing a major Tech transformation and there is hope that tech employees may start to be valued talent and have competitive salary and benefits

Cons

Historically this company has been behind the curve on technology and has a lot of red tape and process that stands in the way of productivity. That may change a lot in the coming year.
