I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokio) in Mar 2023
Interview
Three step interviews with hiring managers, first two interviews on the same day - one after another. Last one with higher level executives. Fast response about the interview result, well arranged online interview process. I was surprised the overall process from first interview to job offer took less than a month.
