I have two rounds, the first is for coding and the second is for system design. I failed in the second round. Overall, I think it is not very difficult.
two codings, including CV projects details.
one system design, didn't do it well.
one tech leader more on soft skills like communication
one cultural fit about general question, doesn't get the key points.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at SmartNews (Tokyo) in May 2024
Interview
The process takes about one month. It starts with a Codility test, followed by three rounds of interviews:
First round: 1-hour coding interview and 1-hour system design interview
Second round: 1-hour domain knowledge interview and 1-hour behavioral interview
Final round: 1-hour behavioral interview
