I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten Advertising in May 2016
Interview
Extremely quick interview process, I was very happy with how quickly I would hear back and would move forward in the hiring process. I had one phone call with my hiring manager and then another phone call with the team. The second call was supposed to be a Skype call, but we had technical difficulties that they were happy to work around. Everyone was very friendly and truly seemed interested in what I had to say. The first interview was broad, we went over my resume and we discussed the projects I would be working on to see if it was relevant to my interests/experience. The second interview was technical(about an hour long), where they asked several questions to gauge my knowledge in, DevOps, data structures, etc.
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Rakuten Advertising (Toronto, ON) in Mar 2024
Interview
It's the first interview in the whole process, basically conducted in virtually, combining behaviour and technical concept questions.
The interviewer seems like the team leader. Like most interviews, questions started with a self-introduction and extended to previous work experiences.
