They will contact you via email and will send you questions prior to the recorded interview. I will accomplish the interview this week. Once the recorded interview is done, I'll go back and edit this with my experience.
prior to a brief skype interview, you must take a challenging web test. the test takes abut 40 mins and is difficult. Must be bilingual. after three rounds of interviews, you get a face to face interview with the manager. be open minded and don't be nervous!
I applied online. I interviewed at Rakuten (Boston, MA) in Oct 2014
Interview
Apply online get automated email to take aptitude test. It was really tough, not the questions but the time limit. Don't read instructions, just do the problems. After that automated email to tell you to set up Skype interview. Did that. Failed 1st interview. Was applying for more interviews at the career forum so the process was all done in under a week. Super quick.
