      Neutral experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in Sep 2016

      Interview

      Spoke to a recruiter at our school's career fair and was texted that night to schedule an interview for the next day on campus. Completed the interview and was then sent an online questionnaire that consisted of a lot of personality questions on one part, and SAT type questions on the other part with a short time limit. I was then contacted about coming to Atlanta to continue the interview process with their team there.
