I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens Digital Industries Software (Waltham, MA) in Aug 2013
Interview
I was contacted via email to set up a phone interview within 24 hour of applying. The phone interview was a quick personal discussion of my University education and the projects that I had mentioned on my resume, he asked about how long the code was trying to get a handle on if I had worked with large code bases. Then the interviewer began asking C++ questions, const keyword in a function, what is a pure virtual function, what is the difference between a balanced tree and a binary tree, what is the advantage of the balanced tree over the binary tree? There were a couple other questions I cannot remember. He was very nice and when I was struggling to come up with the exact keyword he would often give hints.
I then went in for an in person interview and met with the whole Fibersim team and they each asked different questions, mostly about C++, but there were a few questions about SQL and XML. The team was very friendly and there was even a whovian with a sonic screwdriver pen. The interview lasted 3.5 hours but felt like a lot less since it was only 30 min with each team member. The interview was a great experience and I quite enjoyed my time there.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
I was asked to find errors in a short two page code with derived classes and base classes by one of the team members, although he stated before he gave it to me that he had purposefully made the errors very hard to find and the test was more to observe methodology and comprehension.

Interview
It was a 4 step interview process. It started with a general screening, then an HR interview, then 2 technical interviews.
The HR interview was just getting to know my work environment, preferences etc. The technical interviews gave a series of python problems and such to solve

Interview
Was ghosted after successfully doing both dsa questions in OA. The questions were of medium level. I tried contacting the company many times. There was no response. So i would say it was a waste of my time

Interview
There were 2 technical rounds and 1 HR interview. The first round was a simple walk-through bug fixes style on Replit and a discussion on Python programming. The second was a LeetCode-style interview with 3 LC medium-hard questions, which needed to be completed to move to behavioral round.
