chill, friendly, respectful people. Started with technical questions to do. The interview started with the interviewer introducing themselves, which was a nice way of making the whole interview process comfortable and respectful.
They ask your background and why you want to work at this company. They are very friendly and nice. It takes around 15mins to 30mins. You don’t have to speak Japanese.
