I applied through other source. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Siemens in Jul 2008
Interview
Initial inquiry based on personal network. Similar industry but less mature organization. Met with principal and vp of business development. Although a great opportunity on paper and through discussions, organization lacked adequate funding. Advice: make sure to do financial due diligence; understand start-up barriers to entry such as prime competitors, key executives' industry experience.

Question 1
what's your biggest challenge during your last job
was very difficult to answer questions not related to the field and very stereotipical ones about some failures, future vision and soft and hard skills, education, expectations etc. I think there should be more practical questions
Basic background and experience questions, as well as personality traits. Led to panel interview which included senior hr team and smes, focus on problem solving and value creation. Was asked for specifics on compensation.
