I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Rakuten Kobo (Toronto, ON) in Jan 2018
Interview
Was called in for an interview, thought it went fairly well. The two interviewers were engaging and friendly and asked interesting questions. I was never contacted afterwards - pretty unprofessional.

Question 1
What kind of content do you interact with on a daily basis?
Thank you for your interest in Kobo! Our standard process is to inform all candidates who did not make it past the interview stage via email. It appears we experienced a glitch in our system. We have looked into the situation and have corrected it for future candidates. We hope you will apply for future positions here at Kobo!
There was a technical portion and a behavioural portion to the interview. The technical part was based around javascript. Overall, it was doable, and the people in the interview were all very nice
The interview process was pretty straightforward. After applying I was met with a phone call, and immediately got an email stating to set a second interview and then a video call with the hiring manager.
