Initially there was a phone interview asking what you know about the company and other basic question to screen possible employees. This was followed by a two stage, one on one interview covering your resume, past work experiences, background/situation questions, and a case. Know everything on your resume/CV, as they go into depth when asking questions about prior work or volunteer experiences.

Application

I applied in-person. The process took 2+ weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Phoenix, AZ (US)) in March 2011.

Interview

They didn't ask as many questions you would think. It was mostly about the company and the culture. They explained the history and how they go to market. They outlined expectations and gave a detailed speech about why they are setup the way that they are. Everything was quick and to the point but left you feeling like you weren't part of a discussion. The entire process took about an hour or two.

Interview

I first interviewed with the HR representative. He went over the basics, like most HR reps (salary, expectations, job description, etc.). He scheduled me for a first interview. However, before I even went in for the first interview, they sent me a couple of exercises to complete and email back before the scheduled interview date (drafting and correcting mistakes in contract samples, answering questions about indemnification/liability clauses). I went to the first interview with the hiring managers. Before the interview began they sat me down to do another round of written exercises. The interview process for this interview (including the time for the written exercises) took about an hour to an hour and a half. They called me back about a week later to schedule the second interview. This interview took a good half day and was with the same hiring managers, their manager, and the head of the department. Additionally, they took me out for lunch with the team of people I would have been working with. About a week later, they called to let me know that I had not been chosen. However, a couple of weeks after that, one of the hiring managers asked if I would like to come back in for another interview and stated that I would have to complete some more written exercises. While I was interested in the position, I could not spend any more time interviewing in person as I had already missed a day and a half of work (I work about 2 hours away from their office). So, I told them I would be glad to do any additional interviews over the phone. Honestly, I would have loved working there and it would have been a good opportunity for me; but the time and effort they expect out of the job candidates is and was unreasonable.

Very common interview questions to judge your work ethic. They followed normal interview procedures. They were honest and straightforward. The process can move slowly at times. The interview was formal but relaxed.

Interview

Had a phone interview followed by a formal interview. There were some standard questions, but a lot of critical problem-solving questions. They are testing if you can think during stressful situations. From what I have heard, though, this interview was a bit more involved than most from other departments.

Interview

Well, I was scheduled for an interview at 11AM but it was 12:30Pm by the time I started the interview. Building interior was in very poor shape-the blue carpet was black with stains and tdeteriorating, the walls were white with black soot and grease, the front desk in the lobby consisted of a few pieces of plywood. The two ladies that interviewed me were not the ones stated in the interview letter. Both were eating their lunch and talking with the their mouths full of food. I stopped the interview after 10 minutes and left completely disgusted.
