Neutral ExperienceNo Offer
Process
Contacted by a third-party agency for recruitment at Rakuten.
Steps:
- Online coding test
- Rakuten survey and other questions
- Face-to-face Skype technical round
It has taken a complete month. The worst part was that it was for a Big Data profile, and the interviewer didn't ask me any questions related to it.
Just core Java and Unix questions.
Interview results were fast.
Questions
Volatile, Multithreading, Unix socket, Java collection, One coding test to write.

Pros: English speaking company in Japan! So you can use only English.
Twice a year: performance review and evaluation.
There are a lot of trainings going on; half of them are in Japanese.
Cons: If your department doesn't show good results, your bonus will be very small. However, when they hire you, they tell you that the bonus will be equal to one month's salary.
There are a lot of regulations that can be really annoying.
