FAQ

About
Internship

How will I get to Japan?

HENNGE will cover your round-trip airfare as long as you arrive in Japan within 7 days of starting your internship. We will provide you with a budget for purchasing your flights and reimburse you on the first day of GIP.

What kind of visa will I need?

HENNGE GIP is an unpaid internship (with a subsidy), so a working visa is not required.
A short-term stay visa will be necessary for interns from countries that require a visa to enter Japan. We will assist you throughout the visa process.

What's included in the GIP?

Apart from the experience of interning in a world-class IT company in Tokyo, you get the following benefits:

    1. Round-trip airfare.*

    2. A subsidy to cover your regular living expenses, such as accommodation, meals, transportation and essentials as calculated by typical living costs for Tokyo.

    3. Medical insurance.*

    4. Financial assistance with any visa-related matters.

    5. Regular company meals and social events fully subsidized by HENNGE.

    *International airfare and medical insurance will not be covered for those who are living in Japan.

What about my accommodation?

As the subsidy covers accommodation, interns have the freedom to choose their own housing during the internship period.

Do I need to get insurance?

Although we are not directly affiliated with any insurance company, we will apply for your medical insurance coverage through VivaVida (VIVAMED-S Short Term Plan: 2 Months). Check out more details about the insurance coverage here.

Applying to
the Program

How do I apply?

Applicants are required to solve a coding challenge before proceeding to the screening process and interviews. Click Here for more details on the application process.

Help! I cannot click the ‘Submit’ button on the HENNGE Registration Form. What should I do?

We’re very sorry you are having a problem with our website. Here are some common issues that can occur:

  • - Sometimes your browser's autofill function can complete some fields incorrectly. Please erase the information from all fields and re-enter them manually.
  • - For our coding challenge, each email address is considered as one token. Therefore, if you have submitted the challenge in the past, we would recommend that you apply using another email address (or you can add +1 to your gmail address e.g. abcd+1@gmail.com).

Is there a deadline for applications?

We accept applications for GIP on a seasonal basis. For the latest information on available batches, please always check our website, sign up for our newsletter , or follow our social media pages (LinkedIn, Facebook).
Placements in GIP are provided on a first-come, first-served basis so we recommend securing your spot as soon as applications open for your preferred batch.

I forgot to mention my GIP batch preference in my cover letter. What should I do?

If applications are open for multiple GIP batches and you did not specify your preference then please contact us at gip@hennge.com with your availability.

Can I re-apply?

Of course! Applicants may apply as many times as they wish. However, we recommend that applicants re-apply at least 9-12 months after their first attempt.
Note: You will need to register with a different email address when re-applying as one email is considered one token for the coding challenge.

Can I choose a flexible internship slot?

It's important each batch of interns start at the same time, so unfortunately, the dates are fixed in advance and not flexible.
However, the length of your internship can be shortened (to no less than four weeks). If this is something you wish to do, please let your interviewer know should you pass the screening stage.

Are there non-backend/front-end internships available?

From time to time we offer internships or part-time jobs in other areas of HENNGE's business, so please check our recruiting page for availability.
Note: Japanese proficiency is required for these roles.

What happens after my internship?

After the internship, interns who express an interest in working with HENNGE in the future will have the opportunity to pursue this.

Remote
Internship

Do you provide remote internships?

HENNGE’s Global Internship Program is an onsite internship at our headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. This allows you to gain a full and hands-on experience through the program alongside our development team, while experiencing life in Japan for 4-6 weeks. We are not offering remote internships at this time.
