Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What kind of project have you ever led? Scale and responsibility ?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Japan) in Jun 2025
Interview
The interview process is complicated and long but really well-informed in the email. We, as candidates, need to go beyond what they tell us to do. It was a genuine interview to get to know and there's not that formal context, be yourself and find your fit I guess.
