So, at Ubisoft, first they do like a quick pre-screen call. Then, there's a technical test to see if you know your stuff, and after that, an interview to see if you'd fit in with the team. They're really checking out your skills, how creative you are, if you can work with others, and basically, how much you love making games. The last parts are about seeing if you're on the same page with Ubisoft's vibe, like their focus on new ideas and making sure players have a great time. Knowing what's going on in gaming and being super into it helps a lot. Basically, they want someone technically good who also fits the company culture.

Behavioral Technical
I reached out on LinkedIn to the manager at Ubisoft Osaka since they were hiring Game Designers. He asked for my resume, and I sent it over. That same week, I had a Skype interview with a Game Designer, a Programmer, and a Producer. We discussed my background and career goals in both English and Japanese. A week later, I had my second interview with the manager. It went well, and we talked about the studio and its games. Unfortunately, I wasn't offered a job because my Japanese wasn't good enough (they require JLPT 3 at least). They did say there might be future opportunities if I improve my Japanese.
