I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Union Pacific in Sept 2013
Interview
I had three phone interviews, and one face to face interview. I also had to take the Berger Advance Programming Test. The process was pretty straight forward. One of the wierdest questions asked on the application is "Do you smoke tobacco?". If you smoke, forget UP. They are looking for non smokers.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Nothing unexpected. However, UP tries to corner you in a on a job. If you are looking for a job with a wide range of tasks to perform. UP is not the company for you. They are looking for very focus set of skills to fill their very focused position.
Berger Advance Programming Test (B-APT) is a joke. It was so easy a kid in elementary school can take it, and pass it.
The interview process was a waste of time. They already knew who they were going to hire before the in person interview, but they force me to go to Omaha anyways.
What a huge waste of time. If you are software person, DO NOT WORK FOR UP. You are better off working at a real tech company, not a wanna be tech company, which is what UP claims to be - A WANNA BE TECH.
One last thing, if you are not married, and have no kids, do not apply at UP. They want traditional family units. If you have a live in girl friend DO NOT APPLY AT UNION PACIFIC. This will automatically disqualify you from the hiring process. By the way during the interview process, they ask me if I was married, or have kids. Isn't this question illegal. Maybe some discrimination going on here?
Random people from different teams and it was basic questions. If you have a degree you are in IT you can work there. Skill levels are all over the place

Basic questions just read anything and it will be there
I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Atlanta, GA) in Sept 2019

I applied through Handshake, then received an email asking me to sign up for an in-person interview at my school. Did the interview and they basically told me I got the offer.

Question 1
How would you deal with a supervisor who presented something wrong and you knew that what they said was incorrect?
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Union Pacific
Interview
I only did a first round interview. The interview was a lot of behavioral questions and talking about my past experiences. Ran through some other very common behavioral questions. Nothing very unique and not very technical.
