The hiring process at Rakuten takes an average of 14 days when considering 2 user submitted interviews across all job titles. Candidates applying for Administrativo had the quickest hiring process (on average 14 days), whereas Administrativo roles had the slowest hiring process (on average 14 days).
Interview process was structured and technical, focused on Java, problem solving, and fundamentals. Interviewers were professional and supportive. Questions were fair, difficulty moderate, overall positive candidate experience for me personally.
After submitting the application, I completed a coding test on Codility, which was followed by a technical interview with the team to discuss problem solving approach, experience, and suitability requirements.
