I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Siemens (Bengaluru) in Apr 2015

Overall hiring process was very fast and the process involved few rounds onsite. Initially there was a analytical skills test. Shortlisted candidates were called for onsite in-person interviews the following week. The results were announced on the day of onsite interview.
The interview process was conducted pretty well and they were quick with the process. It was mostly behavioral and a detailed questioning from the experiences mentioned in resume. They questioned well to check my alignment to the particular role and tested my ability to adapt to a new environment.
