I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Slate Consulting (Tokyo) in Oct 2015
Interview
Called to me on phone and did the pre screening.
Called in to meet with several consultants and managers without saying anything how many people and whom you will be meeting with.
Called in to do paid 3 days trial after the meeting.
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Slate Consulting in May 2023
Interview
I had a similar negative experience that mirrors another candidate's. I had a video chat with the CEO, who then asked me to meet with the COO. I received numerous emails from an assistant confirming my interest in the job. However, the COO eventually ghosted me.
My impression is that the people running this company say anything but don't keep their word. I've dealt with other recruiting companies that have declined me but demonstrated much higher integrity throughout the process. For example, I can speak highly of the management at Morgan McKinley.

I applied online. I interviewed at Slate Consulting in Jan 2017
Interview
Had a skype interview with the CEO in Canada. He wanted me to interview with him at 2am Japan time, because it was convenient for him. Interview took less than 30 minutes.
Then in the interview he said one of his consultants would contact me, but they never did.
Don't waste your time on this black company.
