I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Singapur) in Apr 2019
Interview
Simple and straight to the point. 2 Phone interviews, one by the HR and one by the Senior manager. Questions were not complex, just to get to know you better. Results were given fairly quickly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
behavioural questions. Why are you interested in the role and what you hope to achieve in this internship.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Montreal, QC) in Mar 2020
Interview
HR called me and fixed the meeting. she told me that the manager and HR both will be in the interview. However, it was done by just the manager who was going to directly work with me. It was via the circuit.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Siemens (Piscataway, NJ) in Mar 2010
Interview
I scheduled an on-campus interview through my college, Marquette University. The position was originally located in Illinois. However, closer to the interview date, the company sent out an e-mail stating that the position had been moved to Piscataway, NJ and that the job description had been modified. While the location change was not a problem for me, I could see how this was a deal-breaker for many.
The 1:1 interview was two parts (a 2:1 and a 1:1), totaling 30 min. Soon into the first part of the interview, I realized the recruiter was looking at the wrong resume, when he confusingly asking about a cross-country bike ride. After awkward laughter, the interview immediately went down hill.
When reading the original job description prior to the interview, it gave the impression that it was more marketing strategy-related, not sales. With it clear that I was annoyed and uninterested, the interview ended in a mere 15 minutes.
Which of these two year-end scenarios would you prefer? A $10,000 bonus as the worst performer in your department or a $5,000 bonus as the best performer in your department.
