I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten Kobo (Toronto, ON)
Interview
There was first a phone screen. Then my recruiter went on vacation and I got handed off to someone else. After about a bit less than 2 weeks I was booked for an on-site interview. During the on-site, the interviewer first talked a little about the position, then asked questions about my CV. Talked about the tech stack. And then asked some cultural fit questions. It was a one on one interview.
