The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Mercari (Tokyo)
Interview
Online coding skill test check on hacker rank.
Interview with the team. They said to have global team but the team lead could not speak English and translator sat between me and interviewer. I did not feel like it was a technical interview. Their feedback says I did not answer in technical detail whereas their questions themselves were not so technical.
I applied through other source. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mercari (Bengaluru) in Sep 2021
Interview
Resume screening followed by a golang assignment and then a java assignment. A one hour interview about the design and improvements on the the java assignment. The engineer who interviewed me and asked questions on the Java assignment doesn't seem to have experience in Java. The overall level of the interview is easy for experienced web developers. My interview was scheduled within 10 days of me submitting my Java test. The tests themselves were good, but you have to think if the effort is worth it if you get rejected without any feedback. especially if you know you answered everything correctly.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They do not want the test content to be leaked. In general, it is the same as other interviewees mentioned. Go test was to make corrections and write a wrapper over an existing golang package. Java test was to implement a service with API/gRPC end points.
Interview questions revolved around the java implementation and scaling the service in cloud.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Mercari (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
I sent my resume and then I took technical interview and normal interview.
I had the technical interview with one engineer and he was very frank and relaxed. And normal interview was done by 2 other managers.
