      Software Engineer Interview

      12 Sept 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Springer Nature (Tokyo) in Sept 2019

      Interview

      First an explanatory meeting (setsumeikai) with a senior engineer. Next, a take-home coding challenge. Then a second office visit with the department manager. Finally, an HR interview. There was one person in particular who was eager to discuss American Left vs. Right politics as well as ask bizarre and unprofessional questions. From a distance it seemed like a nice job. They advertise a 4-day work week and no overtime. Not sure how true that is. Once I got inside it felt like they were striving to maintain a very traditional work atmosphere. I would not describe the experience as warm, only traditional.

      Question 1

      No technical questions, that's what the coding assessment was for. Interview questions were mostly related to how well I had adjusted to Japan and making sure I'm not a flat-earther.
