Neutral experience

Average interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rakuten in Apr 2016

Interview

After CV screening, there are one online test on coding skills and two pre-recorded video interviews. The online test is easy. The questions in the pre-recorded video interviews are given to you in advance. Then, they arranged a Skype interview with two managers, one of them was from the IT team. I am still waiting the results of the Skype interview.
