Candidates who describe Incedo's Software Engineer process most often report an online screen, then technical interviews, then an HR conversation. The screen is usually an aptitude-plus-technical test, or a written test with code snippets and multiple-choice questions. Reported platforms include AMCAT and Mercer Metti, and candidates described them as standard or easy screens that test core concepts rather than tricks.
The technical rounds lean toward core fundamentals and your own projects rather than hard algorithm puzzles. Several candidates report resume walk-throughs, OOP concepts, SQL joins and queries, and easy-to-medium DSA such as arrays, strings or coding merge sort from scratch. One candidate described a Java 8 streams question plus a SQL query. Another reported deep probing on multithreading, virtual destructors, dynamic memory allocation, operating systems and computer networks. OS and DBMS concepts also came up naturally in conversation, not as isolated quizzes. Check the job posting for the stack and prepare to match it.
Be ready to explain why your projects mattered and why you chose your tech stack, since interviewers asked about impact and not only technologies. One candidate's second round included a leadership component that tested analytical thinking and quick decisions under pressure. Another described scenario-based coding on a practical problem, so practice talking through problems aloud. Total rounds varied by report, from three to four, and one process included a client-facing round.
Some candidates describe process friction around and after the technical stage. Reports include last-minute scheduling, a surprise in-office technical round, a tentative joining date, a compensation mismatch and a stalled offer. Get compensation, joining date and location confirmed in writing before you make any employment move.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report an online or written screen. One described an AMCAT assessment covering aptitude, behavioral and technical content. Another described a Mercer Metti assessment focused on core concepts. A third described a written test with code snippets and multiple-choice questions. The format appears to vary, so confirm what your invite names.
Candidates typically report a conversation that starts with introductions and resume projects, then moves to OOP concepts, SQL joins or queries and easy-level DSA such as arrays or strings. Reports describe the interviewers as conversational and helpful. Be ready to explain why you chose your tech stack.
Some candidates report a deeper second round. Reported topics included coding merge sort, OS and DBMS concepts, scenario-based problems and, for one candidate, a leadership or decision-making component. One report also describes a client-facing round. Depth varies by role and level, so treat this as a range of possibilities, not a fixed format.
Candidates report an HR conversation covering motivation, culture fit and career goals, often described as relaxed. Several reports describe problems after this stage, including a stalled offer, a compensation mismatch and a tentative joining date. Ask for compensation and start details in writing before you act on them.
