Experience:

This candidate, Deepak Kumar, was selected for a Senior Software Engineer role at Fast Retailing (Uniqlo) through on-campus placements. The interview process included several rounds of technical interviews and CTO interviews.

After being selected, the company provided extensive training in the Japanese language and culture for two months in India, followed by further classes in Japan by Waseda University, paid for by the company.

The role involved a two-fold job: development of features and epics (from requirement analysis to development, testing, and delivery), and managing a team of five people, including reviewing pull requests, checking work status, and defining processes.

Deepak described the working environment as diverse, unlike a traditional Japanese company, with people from various countries like the US, Korea, India, and Japan.
