Rakuten Software Engineer Interview

Interviewed Dec 2011 in Pune (India) (took a day)

i had given rakuten aptitude test.. 19th dec 2011.India/pune
.few weeks ago..
it consists of 3 rounds
1st::Aptitude test
2nd::Hr Interview(30-45min)
3rd::Hr interview(detailed and more probing)(30min-45min)
Aptitude consists of a few html/ email protocol questions,questions on databases and c.with a few questions on OS cpu scheduling.(aptitude is easier to crack)

Once the aptitude is clear you are put thru 2 rounds of Hr interviews
both interview include high hr level personal questions of apprroximate 45min..also questions are asked on your be and te projects..please refer to all the hr type general questions as the hr is tuff.
like y rakuten,your 3weakness..leadership qualities,situations if u r a manager and so on.plz be sure of ur weakness as the further questions are based on the weakness..
eg:: if u say you get irritated as weakness then latter in the interview they wud ask if u are a manager and get irritated den how will you handle your collegues....
the best possible answer 4u here is generalized by me...have a look: : i think everyone has their own weakness but the important thing is to overcome those weaness and let it not affect your attitude and work..

i cudnt make it to the final 3 after the last HR...hope U can!tc.
