I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at LINE (Tokyo) in Jul 2017
Interview
Applied through a recruiting agent. First was online coding tests that was kinda easy, then two rounds of interview on Skype. Each interview was in English (there was an translator), with two engineers/managers. Both interviews went well and pleasant, keep in mind to speak a little slower, in order to let the translator keep up. Interviewers were friendly so just relax. The next day of the final interview I was notified about the result.
