      Atlanta, GA
      Declined offer
      Neutral experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in Jul 2020

      Interview

      The interview process was good. From the recruiter to the hiring manager, everyone was pleasant and professional. All my questions were answered. The only thing I had an issue with was the background process. In my opinion the process was longer than anticipated.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern in May 2012

      Interview

      Two in-person interviews; another round at HQ with limited personal interaction but multiple tests; received limited information before going to inconvenient lab location for drug, vision, hearing screening; received limited information before background check with law enforcement. Interview process was not difficult but inconvenient and wished that I had received more thorough understanding before each step.
