      Corporate Development Department M&A Analyst Interview

      Apr 6, 2015
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten in Jan 2015

      Interview

      I was a new-grad but my friend referred me to Rakuten, which was designed for mid-career recruiting. So no offer was expected in the first place. However, this was a informational talk. The interview was conducted by the team leader of the M&A (PMI) team in English. It was mostly based on my resume, and how my background relate to what they need. We went further to talk about some recent M&A deals.

      Question 1

      Why Japan? Why Rakuten? How do you fit in this position?
