I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Jan 2019
Interview
Applied through my friend. Got invitation to an online coding task and long form to fill my details. The task was limited by 1 hour, but I was able to choose any time to start, within a week. So I had plenty of time to prepare. After solving the task, got rejection with polite appreciation of my skills, with no direct comments on task solution. The process was quite clear and streamlined.
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.
