Applied online in the morning, received an email that afternoon to take an English comprehension/personality type test, passed. Next day received an email with an invite to attend hiring event. Attended the event 3 weeks later, received an overview of all the railroad perks and of course the parts that are rough. Two biggest takeaways are safety and work-life balance. Was the first one to interview which took about 5 minutes. Overall start to finish time was 65 minutes and I was out the door at 9:05, received an offer by lunch. From there the process is simple. Fill out some stuff on the portal, take a physical abilities test (about an hour) and then a physical, which is when you complete the urinalysis. Cleared to start in approximately a month, I knew the start date when I applied so no real rush. Easy and pleasant experience and looking forward to start on 1/8/18.

Recorded interview. 10-12 questions. All pretty comprehensive but over all prepared me for complicated questions in the future. I think they have employees that get furloughed so ultimately didn’t go through with the process.
