I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rakuten in Apr 2016
Interview
After CV screening, there are one online test on coding skills and two pre-recorded video interviews. The online test is easy. The questions in the pre-recorded video interviews are given to you in advance.
Then, they arranged a Skype interview with two managers, one of them was from the IT team.
I am still waiting the results of the Skype interview.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are your technical skills? What did you do and learn exactly in your past internship?
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.
