I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amtrak in Aug 2025
Interview
Applied through corporate web-site. Got an initial screening call 1 month after.
They quickly set up an interview with a hiring manager. It was a technical/domain-oriented interview. Lots of product-related questions, was asked about the market and competitors. 2 days later was invited to the next round.
It was a panel interview. Very formal, lots of behavioural questions.
Haven’t heard back for a while. Followed-up with a recruiter and a hiring manager, was told that the final decision will be maid after completing all the interviews.
1 month and 1 week after the panel got a classic rejection letter.
I applied online. I interviewed at Amtrak (Chicago, IL) in Apr 2017
Interview
very old fashioned. was panel that read from a prepared package of questions. it was such a cold experience, it was on the verge of uncomfortable. i can't imagine how they could get information about me out of the canned questions.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
there were all canned questions that could be from any HR book. Not sure what they get out of it, other than to be totally consistent with every candidate.
