I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Singapore) in Jan 2019
Interview
Coding test -> OnSite Interview
Was informed that the first interview would be purely behavioural, and if you passed it, the second interview (right after the first) would be technical. Was confused as they went ahead and asked a lot of technical questions in the first one. Didn’t make it to the second one, but I would love to find out what they will ask in the second.
Interview questions [3]
Question 1
Introduce yourself, projects/work experiences, languages that you know, experience with learning a new language
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.
