I applied through college or university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Boston, MA) in Mar 2016
Interview
Brief phone screen, coding exercise, full-team interview process with technical questions - we got to meet with the team and see all different personalities and what their role was. There were a lot of very different interview questions, all challenging and covering different bases of the full stack.

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.
