Process
First, submit your application with your CV. This is followed by a coding test at Codility and a video interview, where you will be answering five pre-recorded questions.
I passed the pre-screening and now await my Skype interview.
Questions
The question on Codility was about the intersection of rectangles. The five recorded questions someone else already listed in another post.

Rakuten Work Experiences
4.0
Great company to work with, a powerful mission
Software Engineer • Former Employee
Tokyo, Japan
August 22, 2020
Pros: - Lots of opportunities to grow.
- Great experience in a very diverse and international environment.
- Not really difficult to move within the group company, so you can diversify your experience into different industries (such as Fintech, mobile, e-commerce, etc.) and functions.
Cons: Salaries aren't too bad but could be improved a bit compared to other companies.
Your experience may vary and depend upon the team you join, ranging from amazing to bad. This is a usual problem with any company this big and diversified, so not exactly a Rakuten-specific one.
