I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at CSX (Jacksonville, FL) in Jan 2023

Interview

1st interview will be with a recruiter. Very easy, check the block type of questions to see if you qualify. 2nd interview was with department manager. I feel this was a personality test and experience check. 3rd will be technical with multiple people. All scenario based questions. There is also a case study that you will have one week to prepare and present.

Interview Questions
  • Why CSX? tons of technical and background?

Interview

It’s more of an overview on how they will try and control your home and work life in a mass group setting. After that, it’s like an interview where they try to be personable but there’s 4-6 people sitting in front on you laughing at each others questions.
