There was a coding round that was sent at the start via email. Relatively okay question. If you pass this and the solution is according to the company's liking, they'll invite you for an on-site interview as well.
I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tóquio) in Mar 2025
Interview
First you apply for the desired position. After that you get sent an online coding test that can be done at home. Later you get scheduled your first interview. There's several interviewing rounds.
It’s a well-structured interview process with 4 rounds, including 2 technical interviews, ensuring a thorough evaluation of technical skills, problem-solving abilities, and overall fit for the company, team dynamics, and role expectations. This approach helps in selecting strong candidates while providing multiple opportunities for them to showcase their expertise, communication skills, and adaptability throughout the hiring process.
