I applied in-person. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Hermiston, OR) in Apr 2017
Interview
Really relaxed and willing to answer all questions that you have. Completely goes into detail about the job and telling everyone that it is not for everyone and if you are worried about Home life to job ratio don't apply for this job will not be home that much.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
IF you catch a person doing a safety violation, what do you do?
Recorded interview. 10-12 questions. All pretty comprehensive but over all prepared me for complicated questions in the future. I think they have employees that get furloughed so ultimately didn’t go through with the process.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Union Pacific (Cheyenne, WY) in Jan 2026
Interview
It is a Unique process unlike any other I’ve experienced. Lots of background and tests. You’re answering prompts without a face to look at. I’ve never experienced anything like it. I hope this is now thirty words thirty words were minimum.
Interview process was very professional and comfortable with most of the process completed online. The interview was recorded with prefilled in questions. I was able to do the interview at my leisure which made me feel very comfortable completing.
