I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Bengaluru)
Interview
Technical interview was good. Questions were good. They asked me to code while sharing my screen.
HR round was not good. Companies should disclose their budget before taking 4 rounds of interview and then say that they cannot afford the candidate. It was a waste of time for everyone involved.
