Bad process. Received an e-mail, I replied, but I got no answer to confirm the date and time of the interview. I had to call directly in Japan. I made a coding test prior to this. I think I did well but I was told I got 0...probably a submission error
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten in Jan 2025
Interview
I recently interviewed for an iOS Engineer position at Rakuten, and overall, the process was well-structured and professional. The recruiters and interviewers were friendly and communicative, ensuring a smooth experience from start to finish.
Pros:
✅ Organized and timely communication throughout the process
✅ Fair technical questions related to the role
✅ Supportive and friendly recruiters who guided me along the way
Cons:
❌ The offer wasn't the most competitive compared to other opportunities I was considering
Rakuten has a solid interview process with a good balance of technical and behavioral evaluations. While I ultimately chose another opportunity, I appreciated the experience and would recommend the company to others exploring iOS roles.

Interview
interviewed with 2 interviewer. They asked about basic Swift questions. They wrote some codes and asked me to find wrong codes. Pretty simple and easy quiz. But one interviewer turned off his camera few times without any excuses.
