A bit unflexible company with talented people
A bit unflexible company with talented people
- Possibility to learn from very talented people with international backgrounds.
- Company-wide cultural events.
- Managers are often technically knowledgeable (in my department).
- Contractors are flexible about working hours.
No possibility for remote work after the largest COVID-19 wave ended. Cannot use Linux as the main operating system on a laptop, although all systems we dealt with were Linux-based. Managers are sometimes quite overworked. Force employees to install the Corona-Warn app on their personal phones.
Be more flexible about remote work to keep existing and attract new employees.

Rakuten Interview Questions
Rakuten Interview Experiences
Senior Data Engineer
Got multiple rounds, six in total. The first was tech-related, focusing on SQL, then architecture, and finally profiling. People were kind. It was more heavy on the architecture design than pure SQL or Python code.
Front End Engineer
It started with a call from a recruiter. Once that 15-minute call was over, interviews were scheduled after 3 weeks. The interview was okay, but the interviewer was not very good in terms of vocabulary and explanation. Overall, an okay experience.
Software Engineer
First applied via agent. Then given a LeetCode-style code challenge to do. Once passed, there were 2 rounds of online interviews with the manager and team lead. Each round takes approximately 1 hour.
