I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern in Jan 2018
Interview
Applied online. Got an email a few days later for an assesment test. Then a few days after that i got another email inviting me to a hiring session. 25 or 30 people were scheaduled to be there and 12 showed up. Had 3 people including the local supervisor give presentations and answer questions. Was then given 15 minutes to take a break, call family and decide if this is right for you. 1 Person didnt come back from the break. We then all one by one had private interviews with the HR reps and supervisor.

I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Woodridge VI, AZ) in Nov 2022
Interview
Intense and drug out. Not for the faint of heart. This job is not for the weak and if you aren’t willing to understand that stay away. If you can handle pushing yourself to go to work, have little time off (suck as to sleep) and back at it then apply. No more crying with reviews, they warn you before you start.
A couple written questions, then 2 video interviews. One of them was pre-recorded. They are hiring a lot right now. If you pass you go to Georgia for 2 weeks before going out in the field
