Had a recruiter call, then an online interview with the head of the area. They forgot to give me feedback on the selection process, and I only received a message 4 months later after I chased the recruiter. I think it's totally disrespectful to the candidate to do something like that. Besides not giving any useful feedback, just a WhatsApp message, to not make it worse than forgetting to give feedback within 5 days and having to be chased almost 5 months after the process started.

So the interview had a few steps. First, they wanted me to give an intro about myself, my school stuff, and projects I did that had to do with embedded systems and software dev. Then, they asked about OOP stuff, like encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism, to see if I knew my stuff about software design. After that, it was questions about Data Structures and Algorithms, focusing on basics like arrays, linked lists, stacks, and queues, and how to approach problems. They also talked about Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS), like scheduling, interrupts, and how tasks sync up. Lastly, some questions about Linux, like basic commands, system programming, and how it fits into embedded systems. Basically, they wanted to check my core knowledge and if I could actually use it.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- Can you explain the differences between an RTOS and Linux?
- I explained that an RTOS (Real-Time Operating System) is designed to provide deterministic and predictable response times. It is used in systems where tasks must be executed within strict timing constraints, such as embedded controllers and real-time devices. RTOS typically has lightweight scheduling, low latency, and precise task prioritization. In contrast, Linux is a general-purpose operating system that focuses on overall system performance, multitasking, and resource management rather than strict timing guarantees. Standard Linux is not deterministic like an RTOS, although real-time patches can be applied to improve its real-time capabilities. Therefore, RTOS is commonly used for microcontrollers and time-critical embedded systems, while Linux is often used in more complex embedded platforms that require networking, file systems, and higher-level applications.

So there were 3 rounds in total. First, an HR phone call to go over my CV and background. Then a technical round where they tested my knowledge of Jenkins, Python, and Docker, and also asked about projects from my previous job. This round could be in English or Vietnamese, but they really preferred English. Lastly, there was a behavior round.

Behavioral Technical Coding System Design Behavioral
The whole thing started with a recruiter call to check out my background and what I'm looking for salary-wise. Then there was an online technical test. After that, I went through two rounds with data engineers and a hiring manager, where we talked about SQL, data modeling, how to design ETL, and some hypothetical questions about huge data pipelines. The last interview was more about seeing if I'd fit in with the team, how I work with other departments, and talking about my past projects. Everything was communicated well, the timing was good, and the difficulty was just right.

Bosch Interview Questions
Quoted word for word from Bosch interview reports.
“Can you write a Java program that takes a dynamic number, iterates up to one less than that number, and checks if each number in the iteration is even or odd? If it's odd, print its spelling (like 'one' for 1); if it's even, print the number itself.”
