I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at NEC Corporation (Tokio) in Dec 2010
Interview
The first interview was an intensive panel discussion with senior management of the business unit. I was questioned on all the details of my previous experience with particular focus on my achievements. The technical people asked some basic questions to test my knowledge of the topic.The panel group also asked standard set of questions, such as why I quit my previous job, why I chose NEC and what is my vision of the future career assuming that I was hired.
The second interview was scheduled after taking a personality test and was more HR oriented, focused mostly on my expectations regarding salary, benefits, career plan and so on.
