I applied online. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in May 2012
Interview
First asked to fill in standard form containing details, etc. Web test is fast paced; beware of format because it can be a lot to take in. Video recording requested (you get two weeks from invite) - 5 questions, pretty simple. Last question in Japanese to gauge your level - you can say none if you don't have any experience. Still waiting for a reply.
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.
