Rakuten Software Engineer interview questions

Process- online code assessment, then a 30-minute interview session with two people in the department. Interview- the interview was standard, basically questions about past projects and skills. As well as a few behavioral questions. What would you do if you disagreed with the leader? Why do you want to live in Japan?

There is a coding test in Codility. Then there are 6 face-to-face interviews of which only 1 has technical questions. They take around 2 or 3 weeks to give the result of each interview, so the process is very long. The first interviews seem more relevant to the position, while the last interviews seem more of a formality. The last interviews are conducted by people very high up in the hierarchy. People are very friendly and professional during the whole process.
