I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (San Mateo, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
(1) An initial phone screen with the hiring manager; (2) three additional phone screens with team members across the recruiting function; (3) an onsite interview consisting of three 30-minute face to face sessions with (a) a Senior Recruiter, (b) the Director of Talent Acquisition, and (c) a summary conversation with the Technical Recruiting Manager and a Team Lead. (4) The final seal of a approval came after a 45-minute Zoom interview with the Senior Manager of Global Talent Acquisition based in Japan.
The time from an initial outreach on LinkedIn from the hiring manager to a written offer was 5 weeks.
