Interviews are held over Skype with two interviewers. If you're interviewing for a role above junior designer or summer intern, Shohei will interview you alongside another person. There can be multiple interviews or just one; I only had one, though others had a few rounds. It was supposed to be about 30 minutes, but mine finished really early.
