Technical Behavioral
Had two interviews back to back. One was technical, and the other was behavioral. The technical interview was a resume review and questions about CS concepts. Both interviewers were chill and easy to chat with. My advice is to be ready to discuss everything on your resume and to nail your behavioral answers.

Behavioral Technical
It was a multi-stage interview process starting with a recruiter call where they looked at my CV and asked about my motivation and for a self-introduction. Then I had interviews with a team member and the hiring manager. These were more like mutual introductions, explaining each other's work and day-to-day tasks. The final round was with a Director who asked about projects on my CV and requested self-introductions in both Japanese and English. The entire process was on-site and did not include any take-home assignments.
