Senior Software Developer, Team Lead Interview Experience - India
Process
I have a total of 8 years of experience. The worst interview experience I had was at Rakuten. I guess the panel was just taking the interview to make money and wasting the candidate's 1.5 hours. If you are truly on the panel to evaluate, then don't waste the candidate's time. I have also been on the panel for my organization where I worked, and the right panel can evaluate the right/wrong person within half an hour. Accordingly, we take more time to ask more questions to cover every topic of knowledge.
Questions
FAQ from every field, written or not in the resume. Maximum from your resume.
Question from the panel: If you can't evaluate the candidate within half an hour, then why waste your and the candidate's time for around two hours?
