- Screening call with the recruiter where she told me although the job posting was located in Tokyo, I would be working remotely from India only. Relocation won't be provided. Asked about my salary expectations and a couple of small technical questions. - Sent me an interview preg guide which clearly stated that the programming round was not required for candidates located in the US. - First technical screening round on programming and SQL - 20 minutes each. Seemed to be a standardized format where you pass by solving at least 2 of the 3 questions. Note, the programming round was not required for the same position, for candidates located in the US as per the preparation guide sent to me. The interviewer and the one shadowing him did not even turn on their cameras, did not provide test cases for the only coding problem I could tackle and there was no run time environment for the SQL queries that I had written in the SQL testing part. It was such a substandard and subpar experience when you can not even run your queries while they were using HackerRank and there were two faceless interviewers. Even the SQL schema was not clear and certainly, there was no sample expected output for the SQL questions. Although I solved all 3 SQL questions within time, I was stuck on the programming question which was not only irrelevant to the position in my understanding and experience but also could be solved easily in 10 minutes or less, just if someone knew Kadane's algorithm. - Was told that there would be a take-home test and interview with the manager next but I did not reach that stage.
