Siemens Manufacturing Engineer interview questions

First round interview attended on site at Siemens SMT. Standard format - overview of CV, followed by several competency based questions around showing leadership, solving problems, working in difficult situations, showing initiative. A verbal 'technical' test followed. Perhaps suggest using some sort of problem solving framework to structure answer. Basically, given a piece of paper with a manufacturing problem and the two interviewers wanted to see what you would do so solve it. Think - Ishikawa/Fishbone diagram structure to ensure all bases are covered. Something I probably should have done, instead of making assumptions. Was a little bit annoyed, as the interview began approx. 25min late (for 1.5hr interview) with no explanation. One interviewer came across as disinterested and impersonal, beginning with a very awkward and seemingly reluctant handshake.

Phone screening at first. 2-3 hours interview with at least 4 management individuals. Straight forward question all position related. Interview with hiring manager, HR, Engineering Manager and Plant Manager. 1-2 for response.
