Software Engineer Interview Experience - Hong Kong

November 1, 2022
Negative ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I interviewed at Rakuten Japan. If you want to get a job at Rakuten, I would recommend you to find a position on the official website instead of through job coordinators. I sent a message to the job coordinator, but he did not reply to any messages. Everything felt like a fraud.

The whole process takes three rounds:

  1. Coding Test (50 minutes, 1 easy LeetCode question)
  2. Resume screening
  3. Interview (easy questions only)

I contacted the coordinator after the interview, but he did not reply to me.

Questions

  1. Why Rakuten? Why Japan?
  2. What positions do you want to work in Rakuten?
  3. How do you learn a new skill?
  4. Please introduce your project. It is the first question in the interview.
