I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Mar 2022
Interview
Rakuten Agile Job Hunting.
The "entry sheet" (actually, resume) should be submitted online via their own system (note that it's not the workday system), and the Recruit team will send the notification.
If the resume passed the selection, there are 2 rounds of interviews on a specific date. 1st round goes with managers that you selected. I was declined in the 1st round because of over-qualified.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Note that Rakuten Security asks all questions in Japanese.
The questions asked are based on one's resume. And, um, since I was looking for a researcher position, they apparently have no good questions to ask...
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.
