I was interviewed at Siemens. I was informed about the interview and the panel involved two people from the UK: a team lead and a Java Developer engineer.

The position was for a Core Java Developer, and I had experience in Core Java, along with Spring and some front-end work using React and Node.

They asked me several non-technical questions:

1. How did you help your team?
2. What's the workflow?
3. How do you approach any bug?
4. What is your expectation from this role?
5. Why do you want to change companies? I said I wanted to relocate for family reasons.
6. What tools & technologies do you use, and what design patterns do you use?
7. What was a fun project you did?

They told me that I worked on front-end, back-end, and other stuff, but we only have back-end to offer in this role. I said okay because I am more inclined towards Java and the work seems quite interesting to me.

But somehow, I was judged on the above questions and didn't move to any further interview. Maybe because I worked on the front-end a little bit, that's the reason I wasn't proceeded with! But what about me? I wanted to work on Java back-end :(

All formal questions for team fitment.
