I applied through college or university. I interviewed at Rakuten in Apr 2017
Interview
Rakuten uses Codility to test candidates. After applying for the job, a link to the test was sent to me. The test could be taken anytime within a week, and I had a hour to solve the problem once the test starts. There were various languages that can be chosen from. (C was not included) I think it’s better to get familiar with the online test platform prior to the test, because you only get a hour. And I think posts reviewing helps. It seems to have a set of problems that Rakuten has been using for years. For example, rectilinear rectangles problem is mentioned multiple times in the posts. The problem I had was not rectilinear rectangles problem, but was also mentioned in one of the posts.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.
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.
