J'ai postulé en ligne. J'ai passé un entretien chez Rakuten (Tokyo) en juill. 2017
Entretien
Actually I do not know where is wrong . At very beginning there are two of us taking part in the interview, the other guy just did not show himself . In terms of the interview , they only asked me easy questions which have nothing to do with data scientist position, of course , I knew them . Engineering background is not helpful in the first round of test.
If you want to take part in the interview of this company , do not pay attention to the engineering background. You can download some information about the company and remember all the answers.
I am doubt whether or not it will be helpful for your future development . If you are refused in the first round of interview , it is waste of time,because you can not get any useful information and do not even know why .
this interview process had 5 rounds
2 was a tech test
３ were conversational in nature
with various managers from direct and indirect to the department manager mostly in Japan but also outside Japan.
1st Interview was simple leetcode task and some questions about Kubernetes. 2nd interview - classical ML and DL questions, Final interview is mostly informal, but there may appear some questions about specific experience and problem solving
