Behavioral Technical
It was a pretty straightforward interview process. Started with some questions about why I was interested in Toyota. Then they asked the standard behavioral questions, like dealing with team conflicts and succeeding in a team setting. There was also a simple technical question where I had to sketch a 3D object from different views. They also asked about my hobbies and free time activities.

Behavioral Technical
The company conducts 2 interviews for this role. In total, 3 people were involved: an HR representative and two managers from different divisions. The first interview lasted for 1 hour, and the second one was 2 hours long. They asked about 5 STAR-method questions, and I suggest using your resume to help answer them.

Technical Behavioral Presentation
Toyota reached out to me because they saw my resume from my engineering college. I first had a phone interview, and then they set up another interview about two days later. The first call was basically a resume walkthrough with some typical STAR questions. The next interview was at the TTC, where I met three managers (one in physical testing, one in simulations, all mechanical engineers), a general manager, and an HR person. They also went over my resume and asked about projects I've done. I then gave a 10-15 minute presentation, and they asked some questions during and after. The questions were interesting but not overly tough, and everyone seemed engaged. After that, I answered a few technical questions, which weren't too hard, though they did help me out when I got a bit stuck on one. We finished with a 15-20 minute tour of their new, nice facilities. The work vibe felt very business-focused with open desks, typical for Japanese companies. Everyone was really friendly and seemed to know their stuff.

Technical Coding Other
My interview process involved a 45-minute phone call initially, and then a second interview which had a short live coding and Japanese assessment. Although this test is usually done in person, Toyota was cool and let me do it over Skype. I mostly talked to a recruiter.
