6,953 junior embedded software engineer interview questions shared by candidates

I was asked about the difference between mutex and semaphore. I was asked about how to avoid deadlocks. Those were fair questions. Then I was asked about difficult bugs and how I got through it. Also fair. Be prepared to deal with computer architecture questions as if you just got out of school. Each interviewer told me that the job takes long hours and was high stress. Even the manager told me this. The manager asked me what bugs did I cause as if I purposely caused a bug. They were going out of their way to not accept me maybe because of cultural reasons. Very strange. I didn't get the job but people should be warned.
