I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Bosch (Bucharest, Bucuresti) in June 2023
Interview
1. Phone interview with the recruiting human resources person. 2. video call with 2 technical staff persons. 3, ghosted. no feedback. when I asked the recruiter I was given some stupid excuse and received a rejection. 2 days later, I got a call from another recruiter within the company for another role, I thought they were moving forward from my previous interview session. But no, it was to start another one from the beginning. It turns out they don't have a centralized recruiting tool that all their recruiters can use. It's what the recruiter told me. Or she lied and they just want to fill their time with activity. Anyway, I decided to give them another chance and guess what, the same thing happened. only this time the technical staff was very rude. I sent my feedback to them. I never got one back. Fast forward to 3 weeks later, 3rd recruiter contacted me on LinkedIn for another role... it's like bad comedy. I told her the situation. I received the same lame excuse about not having details from other recruitment processes. I turned down the invitation and that was it.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
technical mainly based on their needs and some based on my experience
I applied online. I interviewed at Bosch (Stuttgart)
Interview
Invited to video interview. There were some general questions and some technical questions. However, since it was prerecorded it was definitely unnecessarily stressful. You have 20 seconds to prepare and 2 minutes to answer. A real interview would be much more effective
They will ask you about your strengths, weaknesses, coding, algorithms, managing team, experience, your project, career development, expected salary. HR team was very nice, and professional. I like their hiring process.
Interview process was quite pleasant.
They went straight to the point and ask a lot of technical questions.
I was with 5 more people, managers and engineers.
Finally I did not take the job, but the interview was good.
