I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Gaijin Entertainment (Bat'umi) in May 2023
Interview
The interview process was quick, but the interview itself was unfriendly, abrupt, and jerky. During the interview, they said that the position did not offer any prospects for advancement, increased responsibilities, or transfer to related departments, i.e., it was a dead-end job, so the call ended in 10 minutes.
It was an hour-long interview, during which we first discussed general topics and background questions that were not technical in nature, including my previous experience and career goals, and then we proceeded to a coding session where I solved algorithmic problems.

Question 1
It was coding with 5 tasks to generate numbers, size structures, challenge, and more. Unfortunately, the interview ended immediately after the first question

Interview
Recruiter phone screen followed by a 4 hour programming test. Absolutely no response after submitting the test. I was already turned off by such an assignment and I should have known better. Seems like they enjoy wasting people's time. Avoid like the plague.

Question 1
Relatively simple and self contained C++ assignment.
