I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Siemens
Interview
Highly disappointed. A leading German brand is confused about the roles in its organization. My interview was for the role of so called 'Technical Scrum master', a role that some companies who can't afford a full time scrum master have invented. I can understand they want someone with technical background to understand the projects better but asking internal working of data structures and pure java based tech questions in first round itself made me think that this company or at-least its Indian subsidiary is highly confused about the roles & responsibilities of a scrum master. I thought scrum master would be the primary role for this job profile but it turned out, they want a java developer with half cooked knowledge on scrum.
Just don't go for their scrum master interviews, it would be a waste of your and panel's time as they are not really sure what they really want to hire-a developer or a scrum master.
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Siemens (Milan) in Jun 2025
Interview
Tutti i colloqui sono stati sostenuti in lingua inglese.
Primo step asincrono: su una loro piattaforma ho risposto a delle domande video registrate in autonomia. Ad ogni risposta, un video. Potevo ripetere la risposta e rifare i video quante volte volevo.
Qualche settimana dopo aver concluso il primo step, ho avuto un follow-up con HR per una veloce introduzione sia dell'azienda che di me stesso e l'anticipazione di cosa sarebbe successo nel secondo step.
Secondo step: colloquio tecnico in video conferenza con Scrum Master Lead.
Non sono stato selezionato per proseguire con successivi step. Se ricordo bene da quello che mi avevano descritto, nel caso fossi stato selezionato avrei dovuto sostenere un ultimo colloquio tecnico più approfondito in presenza.

Question 1
Il problema più grande che hai affrontato in scrum
Good, friendly and comfortable. Five rounds of interview, scrum and safe related. Nice experience... no unusual questions... Scrum ceremonies and kpi to be maintained... scenario based questions were asked... good experience
