Rakuten Interview Questions
Rakuten Interview Experiences
Mobile Engineer
I applied through a staffing agency for a contract employee position. I had only one interview, a technical interview, conducted via Zoom. They asked all types of questions, covering coding, the development process, architecture, and tools used.
Applications Engineer
Easy, as usual, but could be more efficient. If you're an experienced developer, it should be easy to pass. So, basically, you can try this before others. Some of the interviewers are not professional.
Software Engineer
Emailed manager over the course of 3 months, getting a total of 10 email responses. Responses sounded very positive. Unexpectedly said no thanks at the end. Did not even get an interview offer.
