Software Engineer interview at Qualys: interview experience

Qualys·Software Engineer·Reported Jul 2026
Hard

The first technical interview mixed front-end and back-end fundamentals. React and Redux came up with Node.js, along with an output-style coding question, basic DSA, and at least one question about my project experience. The next technical round stayed in that territory with Java coding, SQL queries, design patterns, resume questions, and more React, JavaScript, and Node.js.

What made the process stressful was not just the material. In the later stage, I was given problems and the interviewers would step away, which made the session feel disengaged. I also waited for feedback after follow-ups and did not get clear communication.

I felt I had given it my best, but the formality of the interactions and lack of closure hurt the experience. I did not get an offer, and the missing communication was the biggest disappointment.

Location: Pune. Overall feedback: positive. Offer status: no offer.
