Process
Internet coding test with Codility, and an internet video record interview. Applied via the MyNavi website. They screened my resume first, then gave me a link for the test and video interview. The coding test seemed easy. The video interview system was quite good, and there were no interruptions.

Rakuten Work Experiences
- 5.0Great Learning, Free Food, PoliticsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeBengaluru, Karnataka, IndiaApril 15, 2022Pros: Learning is great, and you get free food.Cons: Some politics at the upper level.
- 4.0Good Social, Some PoliticsSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeSan Mateo, California, United StatesJuly 26, 2018Pros: Employee benefits are improving, and it's a good environment to work in. Socialization among employees is good.Cons: I didn't feel much, but there is politics.
- 4.0Great Growth, Tough SalesSoftware Engineer • Former EmployeeTokyo, JapanAugust 24, 2024Pros: It was an environment where I could grow as a software engineer. My colleagues were particularly talented, and whenever I had questions, they were always willing to help. Most importantly, it was a place where I could work proactively rather than passively. As for overtime, it was about 20 hours a month, which I believe is average for Japan.Cons: Because the CEO is a one-man manager, even as a software engineer, you are required to do mobile sales. This is very difficult. Communication is easy for Japanese people, but for foreigners, it means having to conduct sales in Tokyo, a foreign land. Some of them don't speak any Japanese at all.
