Siemens Energy Interview Questions & Reviews

Interview Details – one interview with hiring manager, very laid back, met at a restaurant, i don't think this is the norm, most interviews will be 3 people at the office form what I hear form other employees

Interview Details – Spoke with interviewer at carrer fair and signed up for an on campus interview. Passed on to the next round, and was flown to Orlando for a two day interview process. Night one started with dinner, introductions, some speeches, and time to speak with interviewers. Day two consisted of three 45 minute interviews, two of which were with managers, one with HR.

Interview Details – Interview process was good. I spoke to multiple people and was asked relevant questions. When they were making their final decision they flew me to Houston and I reinterviewed with all the same people.

The negotiation process was a nightmare! I wanted to negotiate on vacation time and the HR rep said she would not even submit my request to management! They could not give me specifics on benefits, relo package, etc.

Interview Details – Very difficult getting any traction here. Worked initially with HR rep, and had to convince him that my current position (very similar to the intended role) was sufficient qualification for the next round in the hiring process, which ultimately required multiple discussions, emails, and a written briefing. Finally led to being referred to division manager for discussion. Multiple weeks and an in-house referral from another employee before finally reaching for phone discussion. This went well enough to lead to an informal in-person meeting and discussion. This then led to a phone conference with another senior level employee for another opinion, which also went well. All seemed to be going quite well given all the time invested by multiple parties. Then out of the blue received a form email from the original HR rep with a rejection. After having spent (4) months developing this effort with serious time spent on my part, it was pretty unprofessional in my opinion that nothing more than a nondescript form email without any actual explanation was the end result.

Interview Details – Interviewed with two people: a grad student and his boss. Both were extremely nice. Required me to bring my laptop with several programs written in C. Asked generic questions about my school work and what makes me unique. Very easy interview, and the interviewers were not intimidating at all. Very professional and quick with email correspondence to set up the interview. I was 1 of 4 candidates selected from a pool of 400.

Interview Details – I was a former intern with Siemens, so I didn't have to do a first round interview in person. My first round interview was on the phone, and it only lasted 5 minutes. He basically asked me "how much do you know about the program?" "why do you think you're a good fit for the program?"

The final round of interviews took place over two days. The first day was a reception, dinner, and cocktail hour. The interviewees and interviewers ate dinner together to talk in a more casual setting. They made everyone stand up and tell them their name, school, major, and why they wanted to be there. The interviews took place the second day. Everyone got separated into either the morning interview group or afternoon. It was three, 45-minute interviews. Two 2:1 technical interviews and one 1:1 HR interview.

The HR interview consisted of the basic questions "how do you handle conflict?" "tell me about a time when you had to use your leadership skills to accomplish something".

One of the technical interviews consisted of multiple role playing questions: "You're in charge of a shift and something goes wrong.. how do you tell the plant manager?" "You have a list of tasks to complete.. the person who is completing them is doing them in a different order. How do you handle it?"

The other interview consisted of more technical questions. "If this water bottle is glued to the table, how do you measure it's height?" "what is the Brayton cycle?"

They said they would contact us in two weeks, but I never heard back. Neither did a few other people that I talked to.

Interview Details – Received a call from one of the HR people in California. Set up an initial date for a preliminary phone interview. Moved on to the in person interviews in Orlando, with about 30 or so other interviewees. Interview consisted of an initial dinner and presentations on the first day, with the second day being the actual interviews. The interviews were 3 consecutive interviews with different engineers, asking various questions from why I wanted to work for the company to more technical questions and even 3 role playing questions.

Interview Details – On campus interview with representative for their training program in Orlando. Basic behavioral interview with a few questions about interest in energy field.

Interview Details – Met on campus, had interview the next day. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes, but last closer to 45. All of the questions were comfortable, but I was surprised by technical and I froze.

Negotiation Details – No negotiation
