      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      Declined offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2018

      Interview

      I applied through their website, and a week later received a SAT-like assessment test. Three months later I receive an email for a 15 minute phone conversation of generic behavioral questions. The next steps were a on site interview where you and about 10 other potential intern candidates are seated and called in by interviewers. It was about three rounds of interviews with managers and other employees. There were almost no technical questions besides a very few such as, what is the difference between abstraction and interface.

      Question 1

      Why do you want to work here?
      Answer question

      Question 2
