The hiring process at Apex K.K. takes an average of 14 days when considering 1 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Recruiter had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Recruiter roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 14 days).
Quite possibly the worst interview experience I've ever had. The interviewers were incredibly rude and unprofessional. I'm so glad I didn't move past the interview phase, as the company already wasted enough of my time. I definitely dodged a bullet.

I applied through other source. I interviewed at Apex K.K. (Tokyo) in Feb 2025
Interview
The interviewer was purposely confrontational, dismissive, and even made unnecessarily disrespectful comments toward me. I understand his intention was probably to “test” my resilience or see how I handle pressure, but it came off as an outdated approach that made the company feel like one of those cutthroat wall street-style firms from the 80s that care little about their employees.
If you have to resort to rudeness in a basic job interview just to weed people out, it tells me the company values aggression over professionalism and hierarchy over collaboration. But I suppose if they’re still using these tactics, they’re really just looking for people willing to blend in and contribute to a toxic company culture.
Just a heads-up to anyone else applying.
