I applied online. The process took 4 months. I interviewed at Bloomberg in Nov 2016
Interview
The first round of interviews was an online video interview where you had under 2 minutes to prepare a question that would pop up. You couldn't redo any questions.
Second round was a skype interview which was more personal lasting about 30 mins.
The third was a language competency one which didn't require you to talk about anything technical, they just want to see if you can speak that language
It was a natural conversation. Not tense. Almost didn’t even feel like I was having an interview. Tested both Japanese and English skills. They also asked me about their products
