      Anonymous employee
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten in Feb 2012

      Interview

      It was quick and quite simple. The interviewer asked similar questions in multiple interviews. At the end I was interviewed by the vice president of the group. The process was fun and people were friendly. Especially the vice president at the time.

      Question 1

      Standard questions... nothing unexpected, mostly about past achievements, what I am most proud of, etc.

      New Grad Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo) in Jun 2015

      Interview

      I applied online, there are three different things you have to do: entry sheet (your basic information, basic interview questions like "have you used Rakuten products; Your strengths, etc"), personality test and ability test, which will take you 20-30 mins to finish separately. I did not have a good time with the ability test, but later I got an email saying that I passed the first round. The second is web video interview which they give you 5 pre-recorded questions, really basic ones, even you choose to do the interview in English, they still will ask you to answer the final question in fully Japanese. So prepare for that, I was too nervous so I am not sure how my interview goes. I am still waiting for the result now.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      - Why are you interested in woking in Japan (answer in fully Japanese) - whats your strength? what difficulty you have met and how you dealt with it? - what are the issues you will consider regarding job-hunting? - Introduce yourself - Why you want to work in Rakuten?
