The hiring process had 4 phases. Resume filtering, Online programming test, In-person interview, Skype interview. The entire process took about a month. The online programming test had 2 easy questions and 1 hour for each question. The best part is that we can use all the resources available online. The questions were simple but you won't find them online. The next round was an in-person 1:1 interview. This was mostly about my projects and skills. The interviewers will dig deep into all your work. Next was skype call with a panel of three server-side engineers. The interview was lasted about an hour and was strongly focussed on my technical skills. I was interviewed in the areas of Python, Java, OS, DBMS, basic networks, cloud computing. Ideally, the skype interview should have been the last round but the panel wanted to ask me more questions in other fields so we had another interview a week later. This last interview was mostly about Cloud - Product design, Scalability, caching. In the last 10 mins, they asked me a few HR questions - What do like about Japan? What are your weaknesses?

Interview process had 4 stages. 1. CV screening 2. Codility Test with 5 questions - 3hrs 3. Video interview with 2 engineers - 2hrs 4. Final interview with 2 managers - 1.5hrs 5. HR interview - 30mins Coding tests were leetcode medium, and they asked questions about the coding test in the interview. Technical interview wasn’t difficult but felt like japanese language skills are required to work in this company during the whole process. Final interview wasn’t too hard, and it had some technical and behavioral questions. In the HR interview I couldn’t understand many questions because the interviewer couldn’t speak English properly. However at the end they rejected my application without any feedback. Even after politely asking, they refused to give feedback. After the whole process, I’m glad that I didn’t get selected because I can imagine how difficult it’ll be to work there without japanese language skills even if you have good technical skills.
