I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Mercari (Tokyo) in Aug 2024
Interview
The process took about 3 weeks.
First round - a coding assignment for a k8s yaml validator
Second round - Technical Interview with 2 engineers and an interpreter.
- Their English accent is difficult to hear, and their English is not good. They were not able to provide question and answer smoothly, which makes candidates feel awful despite that their technical background is indeed professional level.
They said the result will be within a week, and I have to wait for 2 weeks to receive a declined mail without any feedbacks.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Scanning your resume and past experience. How do you improve your SLOs, how do you define it.
Sent me a hacker rank and ignored all my emails requesting clarification. Recruiters are fine expecting you to waste your time on pointless hacker rank but won't spend 5 minutes just answering an email.
