I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten in Sept 2016
Interview
Two months after submitting online application, I got email that I have to attend online programing test and pre-recorded interview within one week. They give you the interview questions beforehand so you have less than a week to prepare. But the programing test will appears once you start the the test. It use codility platform for programing and I advise you to use it and practice before you proceed with the main question.

Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.
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.
