It took about 3 months from my initial application till I received an offer letter. I applied from Japan.
Coding test at Codility and an interview with prerecorded questions, followed by 3 1-on-1 interviews over Skype. Interviews would always start with generic questions (why Rakuten, etc.), but would eventually turn technical and interesting. My level of Japanese was tested at every interview.
HR were very helpful and quick to respond throughout the entire process.
Looking forward to the offer meeting now.
