I applied online. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Jan 2019
Interview
first, you need to register online, and then you can do the interview within one day. At the beginning, you would have a coding test, and they would inform you to have a face-to-face interview. Then we started to talk with each other.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What is the hardest thing when you developed your programs
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.
