Interview process for Java Developer started with 2 telephonic and 1 Skype Round .
Both these rounds had Core Java and Data Structure Questions .
Having cleared them ,I was called for F2F interview at the Rakuten Office located in WTC ,Rajajinagar .
There gave 2 more technical interviews with focus on Core Java ,Design Patterns and Problem Solving .
Having successfully crossed these rounds was told to appear for CTO round via Skype .
CTO round was pretty smooth .
Whole process looked very organized and I was all pumped up to join the Company.
Overall rating of this company over Glassdoor is below 3 (2.8) but still I thought of giving it a shot and was expecting offer to be rolled out sooner .
Alas ,wait ,wait and wait .
No communication from HR team for a week ,then I sent a gentle query about status .
Surprisingly they didn't tell me Yes /No ,they kept me awaited citing multiple reasons like the hiring manager is traveling ,we Haven't yet got feedback ,blah blah .
After 15 days of CTO round ,I finally asked rigidly about the status ,then got a naïve reply that the position has gone ON HOLD .
Frustrated and dejected ,I simply replied - Thanks .
Lesson Learnt - Don't waste time even interviewing here ,let alone joining .
No ,not at all a good place
