I was contacted by a recruiter and had an interview about 1-2 weeks later. It was pretty simple and straightforward, just make sure to know the job description well because they ask around that. It was virtual, though they like to do in-person too.

For the onsite interview, remember to type the address (29 Wells Ave), not the company name. After you pass Lionsgate and get to the intercom, go straight and turn right towards the main Kawasaki building, which has a white canopy and a blue glass door. You can park in front of the building next to a US flag. I was 15 minutes late because of traffic, I was driving around the block and looking for the blue door even after I entered the lot. The warehouse in the back also has a blue door. The HR and manager were nice and friendly. I learned some resume writing skills from the HR person. During the interview, another person came in and out of the conference room. I want to thank him too because he pointed out my weaknesses. I forgot how to prepare for face-to-face interviews. It won't happen again.

After passing their assessment exam, you will proceed to take an interview with the HR, mostly about your background, skills and experience, then a panel interview with the supervisor or managers, which is about situational.

The interview process was just one day. I met with Purchasing managers, most of whom were Japanese expats. We talked about basic business knowledge and computer skills. They also assessed my Japanese and English conversational abilities. HR takes a long time to get back to you.
