I got interviewed at Qualys twice. At first it was for Lead Software Engineer. I cleared all the rounds but got rejected because of number of years of experience are not matching with the Lead role.

So recruiter requested me to appear for SSE role. Again all the rounds cleared even HR asked for previous employment details to proceed for the offer. Now the reason they are stating budget issue.

For the the second interview HM asked many biased questions to her knowledge about networking even though role was not for networking background.

Not a clear communication from recruiter.

The topics covered are Java basics, SpringBoot, distributed concepts, Kafka, and the low-level design of a coffee vending machine.
