At Siemens, we put a lot of emphasis on clear communication between all parties, departments, and sectors of our business. Tell me about your communication style.

The interviewer is trying to assess your communication skills. One of the posted requirements for the position is detailed as business proficiency in English with strong communication skills and an influential personality.

Communication is an integral part of any business to ensure all the company's systems run smoothly. A communication breakdown can happen anywhere in the chain. The message sent is not always the message received. One supervisor might tell you one thing, and a different supervisor might tell you another. An employee might confirm they understand the task they're to complete but fail to communicate they've completed the task. Consistency and follow-through are integral to functional communication operations. Explain what you do proactively to ensure communication is effective between all parties. Take all these points into consideration while communicating your answer.
