The hiring process had 4 phases. Resume filtering, Online programming test, In-person interview, Skype interview. The entire process took about a month. The online programming test had 2 easy questions and 1 hour for each question. The best part is that we can use all the resources available online. The questions were simple but you won't find them online. The next round was an in-person 1:1 interview. This was mostly about my projects and skills. The interviewers will dig deep into all your work. Next was skype call with a panel of three server-side engineers. The interview was lasted about an hour and was strongly focussed on my technical skills. I was interviewed in the areas of Python, Java, OS, DBMS, basic networks, cloud computing. Ideally, the skype interview should have been the last round but the panel wanted to ask me more questions in other fields so we had another interview a week later. This last interview was mostly about Cloud - Product design, Scalability, caching. In the last 10 mins, they asked me a few HR questions - What do like about Japan? What are your weaknesses?
