The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Siemens (Washington, DC) in Feb 2023
Interview
Offline interviews are done in your own time. It was pretty easy and simple to go through. You simply have to record a video and submit it to the hiring manager.
The Siemens project manager interview process includes resume screening, initial HR interview, technical assessment, panel interview with senior managers, and a final presentation on project management skills and experience. That was it
