Rakuten Software Developer interview questions

The interview involved two steps and they were both completed online. First thing you need to do is to complete a simple online coding test which is on codility . My test was to implement an algorithm to find the element in a given array which returns the maximum standard deviation. And then there were a few videos you need to record. They were there for you to express your willingness and share your knowledge for the position you apply for. The whole precedure was quite smooth in my opinion but it did take some time to complete especially for the video part.

I applied online, dropped CV. Then I had to take a coding test on codility and a video interview on prerecorded question. The problem on coding was easy, but data type had to be handled carefully. About 3 weeks after the coding test, they mailed me that I was selected for skype interview. There were total 3 skype interviews which were technical, and one interview on phone where I was asked HR type questions. Technical Interview questions were fairly easy, mostly basic networking, OOP questions, and some programming problems. All interviewers were friendly. After 5 months of processing, I was rejected.
