I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Amtrak (Philadelphia, PA) in Jul 2009
Interview
The hiring process at Amtrak is very slow with little communication to those that apply and the candidates.
The interview process is geared toward relating to the culture and little on experience.

Discussion about the business and expectations of knowing the business.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Amtrak (Washington, DC) in Jul 2014
Interview
I applied for the position via their website in June. HR sent me an email within a month requesting and interview and the interview happened a week later.
The process to fill the position took longer than they led me to believe and I became very discouraged as there was no communication. I was very happy to receive a call and offered the job. The HR person was wonderful and worked with me on my salary, vacation and starting date.

Question 1
They had a panel interview, hiring manager, another person and then an hr person. I liked the behavioral type interview where they asked questions on specific to their needs and allowed me to focus on skills and experience they were seeking.
