I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at NTT DATA (Tokio) in Feb 2013
Interview
Sent my resume and then I had an interview with a consulting partner to ascertain if I was suitable for the position. Once the consulting partner was convinced, I was contacted for an interview with the NTT team who would then place me at their client site. Sat around a table with 9 other Japanese guys (1 consulting partner, 1 team boss, 3 directly below him and 4 other guys that are same level as me)
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
General interview questions, nothing tricky, nothing. Straight forward and no case study questions. They go more on your presentation and work history. Essentially Japanese want some kind of proof that your the Jon that you say you are. Confidence gives that.
