Candidates who interviewed at Mitsogo for software engineering and neighboring roles describe a filtered, multi-round process that opens with aptitude and moves into coding. Outcomes are mixed, with a few offers and several rejections.
The aptitude test covers logical reasoning, percentages, ratios, and patterns. Two candidates say it had no multiple-choice options, another describes a 60-minute window of reasoning, pattern, and puzzle questions, and a fourth calls it easy to clear.
Coding follows. A software engineer candidate reports five or six basic-to-intermediate problems, including pattern programs, arrays, and pointers, with median of two sorted arrays and valid parentheses in a later round. A software developer candidate reports pattern printing, two-sum, and a few logic puzzles. Another describes a harder second coding round on trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. A graduate trainee reports Kadane's algorithm, linked lists, lowest common ancestor, knapsack, and longest common subsequence in a mixed test, so breadth across fundamentals matters more than depth in one area.
The technical interview is often built around the resume: projects, listed technologies, and where you struggled. One candidate was asked about Linux versus Windows, and a graduate trainee about SDLC, QA versus QC, and writing test cases. Several say explaining your reasoning aloud counted, and one attributes a rejection partly to rushing through problems without narrating.
The HR round covers communication, goals, and cultural fit; one candidate also reports a call with the CEO after the HR interview. One rejected candidate describes weeks of slow follow-up after the interview.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report an opening aptitude assessment covering logical reasoning, percentages, ratios, time and work, and patterns. One calls it easy, two note there were no multiple-choice options, and another describes a 60-minute window. Practice timed quantitative problems before the coding rounds.
Candidates report a coding round of roughly five or six problems, including pattern printing, array tasks, pointers, and two-sum. One candidate says solving at least three or four problems and explaining the approach was needed to advance. One reports flexibility on language, though Java seemed preferred.
Some candidates report a second, harder coding stage. One lists median of two sorted arrays and valid parentheses; another describes two medium-to-hard problems on trees, graphs, and dynamic programming. Not every candidate describes this stage, so it may vary by role. Practice explaining your approach as you solve.
Candidates report technical discussions built around their resume: projects, listed technologies, and where they struggled. Fundamentals such as operating systems, SDLC, or testing concepts came up for some roles, and one candidate describes logic puzzles. Be ready to narrate your reasoning, since candidates say communication was weighed.
Candidates report a final HR conversation about background, career goals, communication, and cultural fit. One reports a call with the CEO after the HR interview. One rejected candidate describes several weeks of follow-ups without clear feedback.
