I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo)
Interview
The following is the chronological order:
- Video interview
- Document submission
- coding round in a competition
- five one to one interview
Even though the interview process is moderately difficult, they don't use it but just trust some hidden Japanese evaluation which only they know but none other in the whole software engineering field.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How can you satisfy egos of incompetent interviews?
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.
