      After applying on-line, I received an invitation for an on-site interview, which was followed by behavioral phone screening.

People on the back can see the color of hat on the people in front of him/her. And then they need to guess what color his hat is. Given a set of answers from the previous 4 people, the 5th people know for sure the color of his hat. Why?

      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Norfolk Southern (Atlanta, GA) in Mar 2017

      Interview

      About one month after I applied online, I was requested to fill two questionnaires online. The questions were GRE questions and personal questions. After two or three weeks, they asked me for an on site interview. In the interview, I took two exams, an OR exam and a CS exam. Then, I interviewed with two managers. It was easy and in a friendly environment. After one week, somebody from HR called me, and told me that I got accepted.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      The questions were all from my CV. All I can say is that do not lie in your CV, because they may ask very detailed questions from those things in your CV that your wrote your knew them.
