Software Engineer (Internship) Interview Experience - Tokyo, Japan

July 12, 2017
Positive ExperienceGot Offer

Process

The first step was sending an application online, which included a resume and a three-page project description.

I was then invited to an online coding test.

After that, I was invited to an interview in Tokyo, where I had three one-hour interviews with an engineer.

These interviews consisted of a self-introduction from myself and the engineer, followed by some problems.

For me, all these engineers were from the same team.

I didn't do particularly well on neither the coding test nor the interview problems, but I received an offer, which I accepted.

I believe the main reason for this offer was the experience I had gained through my past projects.

I don't speak Japanese well, but that wasn't a problem, as the interview was held in English.
