I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (New York, NY) in Jan 2018
Interview
4 Rounds of interviews. I was asked to interview for two different roles. I went multiple rounds on both and was still not offered a position. It was a huge waste of time and they never bothered to give me feedback.

Question 1
They make you complete an assignment prior to arriving
The interview process was very unorganized. Horrible communication, trying to communicate with the hiring team is a challenge. However, the actual interview was good. The difficulty was average, nothing too crazy.

I applied online. I interviewed at Rakuten (São Paulo, São Paulo) in July 2024
Interview
Lighthearted, but makes sure you're up to the job. Interviewers were very clear about the workload and what's expected of you. They take things seriously, but never to the point of being scary, which brings comfort during the interview.

Interview
After 6 months of maddening interview experiences, this process was a breath of fresh air. Very straightforward, no hoops to jump through and a quick process overall. Met with 5 teammates total and had a candid conversation with them, answered typical interview questions and shared my experience. Painless and efficient!
