Across the reports we have for Connectwise, the software engineer interview rewards solid CS fundamentals and the ability to explain your own projects. Candidates describe a fairly traditional sequence: an online coding assessment, a technical conversation, and an HR round, with a leadership or managerial conversation added in some accounts.
The assessment is described as three data structures and algorithms problems. One software engineer had an hour for problems ranging from easy to hard, and an intern said the questions leaned on searching, sorting, and being able to state time and space complexity.
The technical round is where the accounts overlap most. Candidates mention OOP (including the four pillars), DBMS, operating systems, and computer networks, and interviewers often began from the resume. An intern was asked to explain a complex project in detail, and another was asked why Golang is better than other languages and what goroutines are. A third intern recalled questions on monolithic versus microservice architectures. The software engineer who did not receive an offer said the round was heavy on concepts, and that they would spend less time grinding LeetCode and more time on fundamentals.
The HR conversation is usually described as relaxed, covering projects, teamwork, background, and interests. Senior-level experience differs: one senior candidate had project-focused rounds followed by a managerial round they found dismissive, and declined the offer. Outcomes in these reports are mixed, so treat this as a snapshot rather than a fixed script, and ask your recruiter how your own loop is structured.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates describe an online assessment with three data structures and algorithms problems. One software engineer reports an hour to solve problems from easy to hard, and an intern describes searching and sorting fundamentals with repeated questions about time and space complexity.
Reported as a video or face-to-face conversation that starts from the resume and projects. Candidates mention OOP, DBMS, operating systems, and computer networks, and some interns describe live coding. Be ready to explain what you built, the challenges you hit, and why you made specific technical choices.
Candidates describe an HR round that is more relaxed than the technical one. Reported topics include projects, teamwork, cultural fit, background, interests, and hobbies. Prepare concise stories about collaboration and the problems you have solved.
Not every candidate describes this step. An intern reports a final panel discussion with senior leadership. A senior candidate reports a managerial round after two project-focused interviews and found it dismissive and discouraging. Expect it to vary with level and team.
