I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Los Angeles, CA) in July 2018
Interview
Apply, take an online test, If you pass they will call you in for an interview. If they like you the you will receive a conditional job offer. The rest is easy
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked alot of safety questions. Like what are some past experiences you have with really safe examples and really unsafe examples and how you went about completing the unsafe tasks
Recorded interview. 10-12 questions. All pretty comprehensive but over all prepared me for complicated questions in the future. I think they have employees that get furloughed so ultimately didn’t go through with the process.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Cheyenne, WY) in Jan 2026
Interview
It is a Unique process unlike any other I’ve experienced. Lots of background and tests. You’re answering prompts without a face to look at. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I hope this is now thirty words thirty words were minimum.
Interview process was very professional and comfortable with most of the process completed online. The interview was recorded with prefilled in questions. I was able to do the interview at my leisure which made me feel very comfortable completing.
