I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Los Angeles, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Initially filled out a questionnaire, then later was instructed to take a timed coding test on codility. The coding test was challenging but doable. Afterwards I was instructed to take a repeat of the same questionnaire that I before (when asked why I got no answer), then I got no further response from Rakuten for about 3 weeks.
Eventually I got a generic rejection e-mail, but no feedback on my final testing score or if they had an issue with getting my questionnaire responses. Overall very poor communication.

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.
