A great, conversational interview. Interviewer opened with talk that led to a less intimidating process. Many questions were answered before I could think to ask. Critical thinking, scenario based questions.
- How do you interact with difficult coworkers where your cooperation and teamwork is necessary to complete the task at hand?

The order, for me, went phone screening with HR, then phone interview with a Finance person, then I was given a week to perform a case study followed by a presentation to Finance leadership, then a panel interview, then a meet and greet with my future boss.

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.
- Why CSX? tons of technical and background?

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.
- Do you have a flexible schedule?
