      IT Project Manager Interview

      3 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Tokyo
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Apr 2018

      Interview

      The overall interview process was extremely unprofessional. This was the first time I considered walking out of an interview. If not for the company name, I would have walked out of the third/final interview. Interviewer 2 was 30 minutes late. Interviewer 3 was 1 hour late. Interview 1 was with the team Manager. He was well prepared and had thoughtful questions. Interview 2 was mainly to check my Japanese language skills. This was conducted by another member of the group. This interview began 30 minutes late. Interview 3 was scheduled with the director of the division. I was asked to read two books prior to this interview that layout the president's views on work and company culture. I was not asked ANY questions about the books. After scheduling for 11am, I was asked to change to 9am. After arriving in the meeting room, I was told they could not find the director. Then I was told she wasn't feeling well and would be late. Someone else was hastily brought in to do the interview instead. The director did not appear till 10am. 3 Stages
