I applied through university. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in Apr 2015
Interview
The hiring process was long. Due to my application being submitted 9 months in advance and that's how their process is. I had a total of 4 interviews. One 1:1 interview, two phone interviews, and the final panel interview with 3 employees. All of the questions were behavioral based and the assessment required reading comprehension, not the typical "what would you do if" questions
