I was an Engineer at Rakuten.
In the development division, the atmosphere was a little bit conservative, so I was not able to introduce cool new technologies.
Instead, I learned a lot for making things durable and stable.
I got some global opportunities, like living abroad and working with international people.
Free lunch is nice :)
A lot of talented engineers left from Rakuten.
Engineers should understand that they hate regulations and non-valuable activities.
2 rounds of interviews with managers, 1 HR screen, and a final interview. Each interview lasted about 30 minutes, and most were typical behavioral questions for new grad hires. The interviews were conducted in Japanese.
After the test, there was a single interview. It was quick, mostly cheerful. I had it on my campus. There were some questions on my project. It was around 15 minutes. A few of my friends got selected. Their interview was around 25 minutes.
1. Video interview and web programming test. - Choose C++, Java, Python, PHP, Perl, or Ruby. - Time limit: 60 minutes. - The video interview has three questions prepared in advance. 2. Online interview (on Skype). 3. Offer meeting.
