I applied through university. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Siemens in Feb 2012
Interview
Strictly personalily questions,
What makes you a good fit for the position?
Why would we pick you over all the other applicants? What do you offer that they do not?
Very serious, straight to the point interviewer. 1:1 for about 30 min. Group and panel discussions held before interview selections, which provided great insight into the company
