Interviewed Mar 2012 in Fort Collins, CO (took a day)
The company makes you take a 4-hr test before you can have a 1:1 interview. The test consists of an IQ portion, and a personality portion. Once the test is complete you have a 1:1 interview the following day. The interview is a standard behavioral interview.

Interviewed Feb 2012 (took 2 days)
The interview was straight forward, they asked you where you would want to work like what specific region in the US. They ask about your interest in working for Union Pacific and if you're willing to spend a lot of time working. I thought I had nailed the interview because they call me back to do a series of test that included a personality test, management test and verbal reasoning test. I received an email later letting me know that I had passed the test, but a week later was sent another email saying "thank you for applying but at this time we are reviewing other applicants". I don't know what I did wrong but I guess the recruiter didn't like me very much.

Interviewed Feb 2012 in San Antonio, TX (took a day)
The interview was more like a conversation, the only weird thing was how they rate you right in front of you. Overall, the interviewer was friendly. Also, the questionnaire packets that you have to fill out take at least 4 hours.

Initial phone interview with some skills questions, followed by a panel interview with four people. During the panel interview, a skills test was performed with about 60 questions. Everyone was very friendly, but it wasn't low pressure; they were putting my IT skills to the test on the spot.

Interview was very standard. Asked basic behavioral questions. Asked about relevant projects and turned those into behavioral questions. They then described all the projects and asked if I had any preference.
The only "technical" question was to describe what a class/object were.
Interviewer was very friendly and responsive to all questions I had.
