Mercari conducts interviews with the aim of assessing three critical aspects: your enthusiasm for Mercari's mission, your alignment with our values, and your compatibility with our company culture. We place great importance on a shared commitment to both Mercari's and Merpay's missions, as well as the ability to embody our values in the pursuit of those missions. During the interview process, we will inquire about your past experiences to determine whether Mercari is the right platform for you to demonstrate your skills.
