Process

The following is the chronological order:

  • Video interview
  • Document submission
  • Coding round in a competition
  • Five one-to-one interviews

Even though the interview process is moderately difficult, they don't use it but just trust some hidden Japanese evaluation which only they know, but none other in the whole software engineering field.
