Ho presentato la mia candidatura online. La procedura ha richiesto una settimana. Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rakuten (Tokyo) nel mese di giu 2025
Colloquio
Felt relatively disconnected and automated. I would ask clarifying questions about the purpose of a question and just be told that's the way it is. Not a very good vibe for a software company tbh.

Domanda 1
Just basic software engineering questions. Nothing really specific or job related

Colloquio
Applied online. Initial screening with the hiring manager. Questions from resume. Technologies used. Java basic questions. Salary expectations. About the role and team. Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.

Ho sostenuto un colloquio presso Rakuten (San Francisco, CA)
Colloquio
Disorganized, no HR reached out to discuss about the administrative details and salary and benefits, the hiring manager reached out directly, scheduled a meeting and asked about HR questions(visa, RTO etc.)
The hiring manager was late for over 5 mins minutes, no apologies, no greetings. Negative experience
The interview covered Python libraries, networking, and my software engineering experience. While questions were basic, they can be tricky for seniors. Review your definitions alongside your past projects to succeed.
