Anyone have any company experience or contacts? Asking for a friend.
BNSF, along with competitor Union Pacific, are the biggest freight railroads. That was an utterly miserable industry 30+ years ago, with labor union strife, bloated payroll, no awareness of technology, and overall inept management. The industry is different now, much better run, and that is reflected in the takeover of BNSF by Berkshire Hathaway ten years ago. Berkshire would never acquire a company unless it is a leader and really well run.
Does your friend want to work for them ? My contact in the company is 89, retired sometime in the 80s. Maybe not the most current source ;-)
