Applications Engineer Interview Experience - Tokyo
Process
I attended the "Agile Application" as a new graduate. There was one entry screening, then I joined an online programming test. Everyone had a chance to get the first interview with group managers.
After passing the first interview, I went to the final interview by a department manager. In the afternoon, the HR phoned me that I was admitted.
All of these programs were in one day. The interviewers were very kind, and you could communicate in English.
