I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Siemens in May 2015
Interview
Got call from a consultancy from Delhi or Noida.
The interview was a scheduled walk-in in electronic city Bangalore.
Day one waited for 2-3 hours for 1st round, 2 person was there in that panel they asked questions from the programming language and what automation tool I have used and how I have used in my project.
The funny thing is that they were asking the puzzle question what has asked in Google interviews in past.
In that round one person left 2 more joined and again started asking questions.
By the time first round got over it was lunch time. They served free lunch only good thing about that place.
After lunch 2nd technical round. Again almost some technical question s and some puzzles. Interviewers of second panel was good. They asked me to explain my project architecture and framework on white board.
3rd Round was a HR round for namesake. The HR guy was not asking genuine professional question that was more sounded like time pass for him. Not good.
They gave the employment form to fill and asked to come for one more managerial round on weekday.
Worst part, the lady scheduled the interview said they are ready to offer what I had demanded.
But the HR guy said not a chance you will get. The lady has lied to you and bla-bla.
That sounded again unprofessional.
On Tuesday they had called in that panel one manager and one more Lady took interview they both were good and nice, asked technical questions only.
And other normal question why you want to leave your current job and other generic stuffs.
Again money was a concern, he said we don't pay this much, if someone had promised you they have lied to you.
It was good first round was online and 2nd was face to face in pune office, questions were mostly basic and about the project worked on questions about tools used in testing and basic java code
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
1st round was technical basic questions and java coding
2nd round was more about project details
There are 3 rounds. 1st round is coding and 2nd is Manager round and 3rd round is HR round.
Interview is very easy.
Your verbal communication was clear, and you answered questions directly. However, practicing more concise responses could improve your communication and make it more effective.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Fort Worth, TX) in May 2024
Interview
The interview process was held virtually due to travel constraints to be onsite. The first interview went well, but on the second one things changed. The problems is management was unsure of what they were looking for in the position. They wanted someone with the technical background but to be more on the business side of things. This was not explained in the first interview leading to discrepancy on what exactly was wanted from the position. It also lead to a difference in opinion of what the compensation would be also.
