Brief phone screening followed by an in-person interview. Phone screening was very general generally talked about past work experience. The in-person interview was not too formal. Generally wanted to know about my background / personality and also how well I work under pressure. Wanted specific examples of problem solving on the job. What they were most concerned about was cultural sensitivity as the office is a very international environment. Also wanted to know how comfortable I am with numbers and how much accounting / invoicing experience I had. Japanese language was also at the time one of the requirements so much of the interview was conducted in Japanese.

My interviewer were relatively nice but they were being demanding of things that they could have been upfront with the agency who introduced me to the position before the actual day of. The position required heavy and hardcore Japanese-level of customer service, not to mention to somewhat act as a therapist to expats who come from extreme conservative business culture. Although I appreciate said interviewer saving me time and letting me know my current skill isn't enough for the position, they tried to "help" me giving job-hunting advices which I personally feel very mansplained despite me hinting and answering them politely all along that I have been doing most of what they were advising me on. The entire interview lasted almost 2 hours thanks to the aforementioned. The more I reflect on how the interview went the more I feel insulted at the same time and glad that I did not get accepted.
