I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten in Jan 2018
Interview
HR Screening phone call, call with the hiring manager, 2 hour video/in person interview where you spoke with 4 different people and were given an assignment prior to and had to present, final call with VP. After making it to the third of the four rounds, I had a 2 hour video call with members of the team from various offers, ending in me presenting my assignment. Everything seemed great until I was informed two days later that the team felt I was a better fit for a more senior position... Unfortunately I had not applied to a senior position and wish they could have told me that prior to wasting 6+ hours and multiple weeks of my time during the interview process to schedule these calls and interviews along with completing the assignment. At the end of the day felt that it was very unprofessional in the final product.

Question 1
Given X scenario - how would you go about solving this issues?
The interview process was very unorganized. Horrible communication, trying to communicate with the hiring team is a challenge. However, the actual interview was good. The difficulty was average, nothing too crazy.

Interview
Lighthearted, but makes sure you're up to the job. Interviewers were very clear about the workload and what's expected of you. They take things seriously, but never to the point of being scary, which brings comfort during the interview.

Interview
After 6 months of maddening interview experiences, this process was a breath of fresh air. Very straightforward, no hoops to jump through and a quick process overall. Met with 5 teammates total and had a candid conversation with them, answered typical interview questions and shared my experience. Painless and efficient!
