Applied through LinkedIn. I had to take one ML test and 5 inteviews. Test: (1 week) Simple classification problem + report. 1st Interview: (1 hour) Technical questions and review of the report with R&D Engineers / Young managers. 2nd Interview: (1 hour) Some technical as well as general questions with managers. 3rd Interview: (1 hour) General questions with senior managers. 4th Interview: (1.5 hour) Introduction of the workstyle, facilities and company vision from the head of the Fukuoka and Kyoto branch. long Q&A. It felt more like a discussion than an interview. By that point they had already made their decision and were trying to convince me to take the position rather than evaluating if I am a good fit. 5th Interview: (45min) Discussing benefits, salary expectation, job search status with other companies etc ... with the head of the HR department. I received an offer the next day.
