Interview
The interview day began with an overview of Norfolk Southern and their technologies, as well as competitors and background. Afterwards, I interviewed with three different hiring managers, each for about an hour. Lunch was provided before the final interview. At the end of the day a presentation was given about the benefits, retirement, and other HR related topics. The day lasted from about 8AM to 2:30PM.
Overall it was a great experience, everyone was very friendly and laid back, and the environment was extremely comfortable.

Interview
I responded to a job opening in the company's career job site. The HR personnel contacted me, gave the usual HR questions, then interview with the IT group. The interview with IT was not that thorough, extensive. I believe they just want to fill up the position, not interested in getting the right person for the job.

Interview
Norfolk offered me an interview in Atlanta, GA office. They paid for my flight and lodging in a nice downtown suite. The hiring session was 5 hours long, w two interviews lasting 30 min a piece. Interview questions were all basic HR questions, nothing technical. We ended the day with a tour of the data center. four business days later I was informed I did not get the job. Although I was qualified and the interview went well, I assumed the female candidates got first dibs (yup, this company gave me that impression).
