The recruiter chatted with me about 20 min and she asked about basic interview questions such as why Rakuten but she asked if I am also applying other companies. To be honest, I don't know why she asked that
I had 5 total interviews/calls in total - way too much time invested for an intern interview. Also, one of the interviewers was extremely rude and told me I was making no sense during the interviews but he was the one not paying attention (he did not have my resume pulled up).
Started with a simple recruiter screen and lasted a couple weeks. Had multiple interview with about 3-5 people. Lots of behavioral questions and communication was very clear the entire process. Very professional and kind people.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you do when you have a disagreement with someone on your team?
The interview was conducted on a single day. The process was smooth and medium difficulty. Enjoyed the process. Mostly followed a casual conversation style. There were 2 rounds: One technical and One managerial.
