Principal Software Engineer Interview Experience - Tokyo, Tokyo

October 1, 2025
Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

  1. Got an initial screening interview over the phone and was rejected simply because I did not speak at a high enough language level (though I have a conversational level). I was very disappointed at being judged by language only, while they totally ignored my skills and experience (I 100% matched the position).

Questions

  1. Past experience
  2. How I managed my team at my current company
  3. My experience in AI
