multi round interview process. interviews themselves were fine, but communication afterwards was basically nonexistent. I had to repeatedly email for an update over several weeks, felt ghosted. Eventually was told they went in another direction, which i could have guessed. Just would have appreciated some communication, so I could stop looking for a response.

Question 1
i don’t really remember. basic technical and behavioral type questions.
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (San Mateo, CA)
Interview
Interview process was great in the beginning and things seemed to progress quickly. Right before the final round, the recruiter promised to give me a call but ended up ghosting me for a month and some change. No calls or emails from then on.

What is your experience with ecommerce or retail products?
I spoke with Rakuten Rewards’ head of design, who is the hiring manager for the position. He was really friendly and open about the team he was looking to build. This was followed by a case study presentation.
