Process
First, I completed a programming test online. After that, they gave a date for a Skype interview. The interview lasted around 45 minutes, with the three interviewers asking me questions about my personality and also some technical ones about the languages and practices I knew. Lastly, they asked why Rakuten and why their specific branch.
