The interview process was quite straightforward and the interviewers were pleasant. I had conversations with different teams, allowing me to meet various people. The questions posed were manageable; they didn't expect extensive prior knowledge but did anticipate that I would have done some research. It felt more like a casual discussion than a formal interview. Everyone was dressed casually.

I had an online interview that was about 45 minutes long. It was conducted in both Japanese and English by an interviewer who is Japanese and lives in the UK. They were really nice and made me feel comfortable even though I was a bit nervous at first. The interviewer went over the main duties for the job, like what I'd be doing day-to-day. They also shared some good info about the team, the kinds of clients the company deals with, and how this job fits into the bigger picture of the business.
