I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Bengaluru) in Feb 2019
Interview
Giving interview waste of time. They took five technical rounds. 6th round is managerial interview. Manager ask few managerial questions. After that hr told you are not suitable for this position. Because Tokyo team rejected you. They told after five rounds of interview technology stack is not matching. It is very bad experience. I totally felt waste time and effort. Only Tokyo team only decide everything . After five rounds of interview manager ask few questions felt I am not capable enough. My recommendation first do screening with manger then start technical process.
Hacker earth test.
Four technical rounds.
