      MBA Business Consultant to Chief Executive Officer Interview

      23 Jan 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo)

      Interview

      30 minute interview with a very junior recruiter. I appears that for these roles, Rakuten descriminates against hiring Caucasians and also desciminates against hiring people older than the typical 28-30 year old MBA graduate. The recruiter had no business degree and apparently little knowledge of what goes into earning an MBA. Based on research on LinkedIn profiles, there are no Caucasian MBAs hired for this role. No feedback other than, "after careful consideration, we have decided to not continue with the interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why Rakuten, why did you change jobs, what do you know about Rakuten, which are do you want to work in, do you have any questions for me,
