I applied through a staffing agency. I interviewed at Rakuten in Jan 2014
Interview
Interview process took about 1 month. Web test was difficult, which you would never be able to answer all questions within the given time. First interview was through Skype and it was an easy interview with the HR person. Second interview was conducted at their office in Tokyo and interview questions were hard.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Are you able to cope with the super hard work at our company?
