Interviewing at IRIS Software Group
You should expect a structured, multi-step loop that mixes recruiter screening, panel interviews, and at least one online assessment. Across the roles, the process repeatedly tests both technical knowledge and how you lead, plan, and communicate, with Project Management and Stakeholder Communication showing the highest prominence in the topic mix.
The interviews most consistently cover MySQL, JavaScript, and role-specific technical areas like React, Spring Framework Core, Jest, and data or accounting tasks such as Marketing Analytics, Financial Analysis, and Profit and Loss (P&L) accounting. Program and Project Planning also shows up as a prominent technical theme, which suggests you will be evaluated on how you structure work, not only on whether you can solve problems.
Based on candidate reports, the overall difficulty distribution skews medium, with 25.2% easy and 60.0% medium, and the very hard slice is small (2.6%). Also, the reported offer rate is 0.0%, so treat the reports as evidence that the loop is demanding and that you should focus on preparation and clarity rather than counting on an offer from this specific dataset.
The single most useful non-obvious fact is that Project Management and Stakeholder Communication are the most prominent topics (each at the top of the topic distribution), so you should prepare to show planning, leadership, and clear communication alongside the technical areas like MySQL and JavaScript.

What separates offers from rejections
Patterns from candidates who got offers, and the mistakes that most often sink a loop.
Do this
- Practice explaining your delivery approach in a structured way. The topic mix puts Project Management, Program and Project Planning, and Stakeholder Communication at the highest prominence, and panel interviews are described as focusing on delivery methodologies and behavioral scenarios.
- Be ready to work with MySQL and JavaScript concepts. MySQL assessment and JavaScript are both at the top prominence, so you should review core query and programming fundamentals before you go in.
- If your role involves it, prepare scenario based analysis with testing and frameworks. React, Spring Framework Core, and Jest all appear prominently, so align your examples with the tech in the topic list.
- If the loop includes data, accounting, or analytics, rehearse the domain workflows. Marketing Analytics, Financial Analysis, P&L accounting, and Bank Reconciliation Statement (BRS) are all near the top of the technical topics, so prepare concrete walkthroughs.
Avoid this
- Do not treat the recruiter screen as purely administrative. Recruiter screening is reported as having technical evaluation in the topic data, so be ready to discuss relevant technical and role fit clearly.
- Do not memorize answers without connecting them to planning and stakeholder communication. The process descriptions repeatedly mention behavioral scenarios and delivery methodologies, and the topic list heavily weights leadership and communication.
- Do not ignore the likelihood of online testing and practical evaluation. Multiple roles report online assessments, and there are reports of practical presentation and mock scenario analysis and role-play, so prepare to think on your feet.
- Do not under prepare for non-code technical tasks if your role touches them. Financial Analysis, P&L accounting, and BRS appear in the prominent technical topics, so leaving them out can hurt even if you are strong in coding.

Prioritize Project Management (soft skills and leadership), Stakeholder Communication (soft skills and leadership), and Program and Project Planning because these are the most prominent topics across the extracted interview questions. Then build a strong technical base around MySQL and JavaScript, since those also have the highest prominence.
Do candidates do online tests or presentations?

Is there an AI interview element?
One reported step mentions an online interview via AI or Microsoft Teams that focuses on communication skills and interest in the role. If you are scheduled for an online interview, expect communication and role motivation to matter.
