I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Oakland, CA) in Jan 2018
Interview
This company has safety as a priority, most questions are about it. you get to watch an brief introduction video about the job and company, then there is the round of interviews, generally there are about 10 or 15 other candidates, there
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have experience working outdoors, have you worked shifts, talk about your previous work experience.
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.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Cheyenne, WY) in Jan 2026
Interview
It is a Unique process unlike any other I’ve experienced. Lots of background and tests. You’re answering prompts without a face to look at. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I hope this is now thirty words thirty words were minimum.
Interview process was very professional and comfortable with most of the process completed online. The interview was recorded with prefilled in questions. I was able to do the interview at my leisure which made me feel very comfortable completing.
