      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Union Pacific

      Interview

      Applied for the position in July and was subsequently scheduled to take the OMT test online. You receive a pass/fail once you complete and submit the test, I passed by the way. A week or two later you receive a first round interview. They go over the job, pitfalls, and how hard its supposed to be as a scare tactic. I passed the first round interview and was scheduled for a second round 3 weeks later. There are two interviewers in the room but here is where it gets interesting, the interview started off fairly well until they inquired about my Bachelors and Graduate Degree. My Bachelor Degree is Pre-Law and my Grad School Degree is in Business Law. I was asked, how is your degrees relevant for the position? Hmm, we would be managers with employees, all aspects of business is governed by laws, from the labor laws to federal regulations blah blah blah. From that point on, I was antogonized for the my degrees and subsequent military service. I was continuously told I couldn't do the job and perhaps I should be doing some sort of labor law job. They were relaying how long the job is, you will be working 12-15 hour days sometimes for weeks at a time and how they have an attrition issue with their managers. I said no problem, I have deployed to a war zone in the most inhospitable places working for that same length of time and longer and managed people at multiple levels. However, I'am also I'm thinking to myself, you know the problem is overworked managers who can't plan or schedule events in their lives. How about double stacking the managers so they can have set schedules with days off instead of working them to the brink of burning out. You are a multi-billion dollar company and you know what the problem is but refuse to fix it. I digress, totally unprofessional interview, I expected more professionalism and I didn't receive that.

      Interview

      1) Take 2 online exams (1 personality, 1 logical) Which took a couple hours and was timed. These were medium difficulty, be sure to take your time on these. 2) A virtual 1-on-1 with a Senior Recruiter asking scenario questions in STAR format. They decide within a few days whether you move on to the second interview. approx. 30 mins 3) A virtual 3-on-1 panel interview with hiring manager and a facility manager that dig into leadership and scenario questions. STAR format. approx. 30 mins Next, within a week you receive a formal offer. Finally, the background check and medical exam. (Whole process took about 1 month from application to offer)

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2021

      Interview

      The whole process involved 3 major steps: the aptitude test, the first round interview, and the second round interview. The aptitude test wasn't difficult, it mostly tested logic and people skills. The first interview was very conversational and I was able to ask lots of questions. The second round interview was a bit more panel styled, so I was answering questions from 3 different people. They were mostly about my experiences in leadership and in past working experiences.

      Interview questions [2]
