1 Interview Round
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: HR Interview
Experience: I entered the interview room and saw 2 Japanese people along with a translator to facilitate the conversation. The interview was mostly HR revolving around leadership skills and slightly touched upon tech when I pitched about my research paper.
They were mainly looking for people who would adapt to the Japanese culture. Since I had read some information regarding japan and the long term vision of their company just before coming to the interview, I pitched my ideas very well and linked it to the core values of their company.
They seemed quite impressed with my knowledge about the healthcare industry and asked me to choose whether I would like to work in a business role or an R&D role since they felt I had credentials for both. I told them that I preferred the business planning role and the interview concluded after 5 more minutes of general discussion about healthcare.
Outside the room, I still had lingering doubts that I would be rejected yet again due to some reason. Finally, the HR came out of the room and started asking me more details like my full name, birthplace, father’s name etc and started filling up my offer letter. At this point, I felt elated. It started to sink in slowly and steadily. After a lot of failures over the past few days, finally I had some closure….I too had a job.
Skill Tips: Read some information regarding japan and the long term vision of their company just before going to the interview.
Skills: Japanese Culture

3 Interview Rounds
Interview Preparation Tips
Round: Test
Experience: Round 1: Quant questions, subjective questions where we had to develop algorithms. Civil students who did transportation network analysis (TNA) had an advantage in solving the subjective questions. Psychometric test
Round: Interview
Experience: 3 rounds of interview. 1st and 2nd round was mainly based on puzzles.
Tips: Don’t jump on to answer directly even if you know it act as if you are thinking and then answer.
Round: Interview
Experience: 3rd round was based on the subjective question paper and how did you approach.
General Tips: Be thorough with your project and have basic knowledge about courses for those appearing for core companies. For analytics companies solve as many puzzles as possible and quant problems.
For those who are sitting for placements always carry your resume because even though you aren’t shortlisted for a company they may ask you to come for an interview on request.
Skill Tips: I think for core companies you need to be completely thorough with your project as they ask from very simple to very complex questions about it. I had problem in answering one simple question about my project in my Delloite interview. They asked me to name few of the power plants as my project was on it and I couldn’t answer satisfactorily.
