I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Siemens Energy in Dec 2023
Interview
Awful experience.
Recruiter reached me out to schedule an interview, which turned out to be a nightmare to find a common slot due to different timezones.
Back and forth e-mail exchange with me providing visibility on several time slots that would work for me. I even asked about the recruiter's availability for the following working days so I could adjust accordingly. The recruiter offered only 1 possible time slot in each reply and showed a total lack of flexibility.
Finally we were able to find a common time slot!
Everything ready for the call until... 15 minutes before the interview, the recruiter sent an e-mail explaining that the interview has been cancelled because they decided to go forward with 2 other candidates, stating that I would be contacted if things ended up not working out with them.
Total lack of consideration and respect with candidates
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Siemens Energy (Düsseldorf) in May 2026
Interview
There were 4 steps. First interview with hr via call, than second interview with hr manager, third is case study with department manager and the last interview with head of department.
