      Management Trainee Interview

      Feb 17, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Atlanta, GA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA)

      Interview

      Interview process was straightforward. One of my interviewers was very nice and easy to talk to while to other one was distant and cold, almost like the interview was an imposition to him. Overall, I did not get a good feeling from the company and would not have taken a position there if offered.
