I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2019
Interview
The first phone call was from the manager. Basic Technical question from the resume skillset.
The second phone call was with the team. Group of 3 interviewers asked questions turn by turn on a variety of technology.

Question 1
Have you ever worked on AWS? Questions on AWS lambda, Spring core containers, Java basics, singleton design pattern, REST API, basic coding on Data structure. Behavioral questions like How do you see your self after 5 years? Did not get any response from them.
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Siemens (Bengaluru) in Sept 2017
Interview
In short, SIEMENS is looking for cheap labour than a skilled worker.The interview consists of four rounds.
1.) Programming Test
2.) Technical
3.) Managerial
4.) HR
The process will take a full day as their interview process is not streamlined. They will call you in the morning and take one programming test and then there will be hours(min 3-4) of waiting before next round starts.
The worst part will be HR round, even though your technical/managerial interviewer is happy with you and willing to pay you a good sum(30-40%), the HR will shot your negotiations down to 5-10% max. They'll be hardly interested in the skill that you'll bring to the table and just interested in the number and will try to sell you the brand value(:D).
Attend the interview only if you don't have other options.
