I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yokogawa
Interview
I went for the interview as a fresh graduate.
For me, there was a total of 2 interviews.
The first was a technical interview, as the company developed software mainly in C# or C++, the programming questions were asked to answer either in one of the languages or if u know both, you can write in both languages.
The programming questions were to test the understanding of Object Oriented Concept and certain programming proficiency. For me, i was tasked to write a class to implement an real-world object and its associated behaviors. (Heard from my colleague who entered later than me say the programming questions are now done on laptop, previously we had to write it on paper).
After completion of the programming questions, an architect will be present to review the codes and ask questions pertaining to what you have written. If you are applying for Senior Software Developer, i think you are required to model the problem with UML diagram as well.
The second interview was done with a HR and 1 management to know more about you and see how you can fit into the company. They will ask you how much you know about the company and what it does (Industry Automation) and at the same time, explain the culture of the company and also the job description. This is also the time where you can ask them about the company as well.

Other Software Engineer Interview Reviews for Yokogawa
I applied online. I interviewed at Yokogawa (Singapore) in Jun 2026
Interview
The position was based in my home country, but the company required me to travel to their overseas headquarters for a face-to-face interview. Although they knew I would need to travel internationally, they did not provide any travel allowance or reimbursement. As a result, I had to cover all transportation and travel expenses myself.
After investing significant time, effort, and money in the interview process, I only received a generic notification that I had not been selected. No interview feedback was provided, despite the considerable commitment required. While I understand that companies cannot hire every candidate, offering constructive feedback would have been appreciated, especially after asking candidates to travel internationally at their own expense.
