I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Aug 2018
Interview
Codility. Two questions. Leetcode medium level.
Then interview, group of two.
Not technical, just matching.
The ugly part, they changed my job title halfway. I applied for something else, and they changed my position and tell me DURING THE INTERVIEW!! So I trolled them.
Applied online. Initial screening with the hiring manager. Questions from resume. Technologies used. Java basic questions. Salary expectations. About the role and team. Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.
Disorganized, no HR reached out to discuss about the administrative details and salary and benefits, the hiring manager reached out directly, scheduled a meeting and asked about HR questions(visa, RTO etc.)
The hiring manager was late for over 5 mins minutes, no apologies, no greetings. Negative experience
The interview covered Python libraries, networking, and my software engineering experience. While questions were basic, they can be tricky for seniors. Review your definitions alongside your past projects to succeed.
