J'ai postulé via un recruteur. J'ai passé un entretien chez Rakuten (Tokyo) en mars 2026
Entretien
HR screening followed by online coding rounds. I was contacted by a contracting agency so the coding rounds were only 2-4 rounds depending on how well you do in earlier rounds.

J'ai passé un entretien chez Rakuten (San Francisco, CA)
Entretien
Disorganized, no HR reached out to discuss about the administrative details and salary and benefits, the hiring manager reached out directly, scheduled a meeting and asked about HR questions(visa, RTO etc.)
The hiring manager was late for over 5 mins minutes, no apologies, no greetings. Negative experience
The interview covered Python libraries, networking, and my software engineering experience. While questions were basic, they can be tricky for seniors. Review your definitions alongside your past projects to succeed.
