Both Siemens Business Analyst candidates in our data describe three rounds, opening with an HR conversation, and both received offers.
The early conversations are about motivation and experience. One candidate says the recruiter screen focused on why they wanted the role and how their background connected to it; the other describes a short call about their current position and what they wanted next. The first candidate also says interviewers valued a genuine connection to Siemens and tested knowledge of its business areas and products throughout the process, so prepare a specific reason for choosing the company.
The hiring manager round differed between the two. One candidate went into detail on a project they had worked on. The other, in a video interview, answered "tell me about a time when..." questions about challenges and competing demands, and was asked which KPIs they tracked and which mattered most for business outcomes. Have a project you can walk through end to end, a few behavioral stories, and a clear view of metrics you have owned.
The third round is where the case work shows up. One candidate had an on-site case with three managers on business prospection, covering how to find and evaluate growth opportunities across channels. The other met two additional team members and recalls a case on analyzing data and presenting insights to stakeholders, without placing it in a particular round. Both describe interviewers who cared about reasoning more than a single correct answer, so practice structuring an open-ended problem aloud.

Real interview reports from people who went through the Siemens process.
The interview process at Siemens for the Business Analyst role was well-structured and took place over three rounds. I started with a short phone call with the HR team, where they asked about my current position and what I was looking for in a new opportunity. It was exploratory—just understanding my background and whether there was a good fit.
The second round was a video interview with the hiring manager. This is where they really dug into my actual experience. They asked behavioral questions—a lot of "tell me about a time when..." scenarios—focused on how I'd handled challenges and managed competing demands at work. They also asked about key performance indicators I'd tracked and which ones I thought were most important for driving business outcomes. It gave them a window into how I think about priorities and business impact.
The final round was the most interesting: an on-site case interview with three managers. They presented a scenario around business prospection—essentially how I'd identify and evaluate new growth opportunities for a company. Rather than ask about my past, they wanted to see my analytical process: how I'd think through different channels, why certain approaches made sense, and how I'd structure the overall analysis. That round felt like the real test of whether I could actually do the job.
The whole process moved smoothly, and I received an offer after the final round.
