I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten in Nov 2022
Interview
I interviewed in Rakuten Japan If you want to get a job in Rakuten, I would recommend you to find a position in official website instead of job coordinators. I sent message to the job coordinator but he didn't reply any messages. Everything is like a fraud. The whole process takes 3 rounds: 1. Coding Test , 50 mins, 1 easy leetcode question 2. Resume screening 3. Interview, easy questions only I contacted the coordinator after the interview, he didn't reply me any messages.

Interview questions [1]
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.
