I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo)
Interview
This interview process is extremely lengthly. At first they spend at least a week revewing your initial resume. After that you're administered a timed programming test which is rather difficult (i was told no one in my group got the entire thing correct). After that you go through approximately 4 more interviews all spaced about a week from one another (they are all held on Skype). Many of them will include technical grilling, but nothing over the top. Overall the entire interview process takes approximately 4 - 5 weeks before the offer.
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.
