I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Seoul) in May 2019
Interview
1. Online coding-test
2. Offline interview
Coding-test is super easy. Only one problem is given and it's level is about college 1-2 grade.
Interview is also easy, but you should tell interviewer to strong motivation of application.
I compared Rakuten with other IT companies, but they seemed not convinced.
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.
