I applied online. I interviewed at Works Applications (Tokyo) in Mar 2017
Interview
There was supposed to be five rounds: an online coding test, a live coding interview, an online aptitude and personality test, a conversational interview and an HR interview(You have to pass each round to get to the next round). Passed up to the conversational interview round but didn't make past the conversational interview. The feedback from the recruiter was "Interviewer's evaluation was so high. Just not fit us at this moment." I didn't quite get what they meant by that.
