Software Engineer Interview Experience - Singapore, Singapore
Process
I applied through campus. The selection process takes a very long time. First, we submitted our resumes online. After some time, they emailed us with a timed coding test. The test was easy. Then, after that, we had a recorded interview which you have to submit online. After these two rounds, you will be contacted to go to the office for an interview. The interview questions were all general questions; nothing unexpected.

Rakuten Work Experiences
- 4.0Diversity in both good and bad waysSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeTokyo, Tokyo, JapanJanuary 30, 2021Pros: There's a high proportion of SW engineers from outside of Japan. This creates a unique environment in Japan. You get to work with people with different backgrounds, and that often gives you an opportunity to learn. Work-life balance is good.Cons: The company is still finding its engineer culture, in my opinion. A lot of the sections still seem to operate and work within their own boundaries. The compensations could be better, but it's still on the good side in Japan IT.

That's imposed by corporate in Japan. Challenging industry. If Rakuten stops innovating and adapting, things could go south quickly, but I think we're on the right track.
