There were totally 4 rounds including 1 video round. After submitting the application, you will get shortlisted for video interview with predefined 5 questions. Result is generally given within a week. Next round was a face to face interview with a team member. Questions were based on resume, technology skills as per the job description. It lasted for 45 mins. Fairly simple. Again received the result in one week. Next round was with a more senior member of the same department. It was more technical and in depth about Rakuten business model. Again was for 40 minutes. After clearing this round, was the final round of interview. Before appearing for final round of interview, I had to read 2 essays based on the books written by CEO. Although I do not think they are evaluated in the selection process, it is better to skim through the books and give your honest opinions. Final interview was with the executive director, it was case based, and based on some situations to check your analytical skills. Again good to know the business model of Rakuten in detail. Results were given after a week of final interview. Then offer meeting to negotiate for the salary and offer date. They negotiate a little so can try.
