Process
All the reviews about Rakuten regarding bad interview experiences are absolutely true.
JD says "QA (automation, manual testing)." But during the interview, there were no questions on testing or automation. It was an entirely different area that they were interviewing for.
Undoubtedly, they deserve 2 or fewer stars (on Glassdoor) for interview management or for hiring.
