They will contact you via email and will send you questions prior to the recorded interview. I will accomplish the interview this week. Once the recorded interview is done, I'll go back and edit this with my experience.
Started with a web test. Did not pass all the test cases but 2-3 weeks later was invited to the first interview via skype. After completion was invited to an on-site interview immediately after.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What are some of the past projects related to this field you have worked on?
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (New York, NY) in Mar 2015
Interview
First round requires a video interview with predetermined questions, and a simple coding exam on codility. They told me that I was accepted into the second round of interviews. I never got the invitation to take the interview. It was postponed indefinitely, and eventually they told me that the positions were filled.
