I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten Kobo (Toronto, ON) in Jun 2015
Interview
Had a brief call with the HR about my background and skill set. A Skype call was set up with the manager and team member. Had a long interview over Skype which included technical as well as behavioral questions, and again a Skype call with the team member. Was later called in for a 1-1 interview with the manager and two other team members. Everything seemed to be very well organised. There was a coding question and also some debugging questions.
