I applied online. I interviewed at Rakuten in Jan 2022
Interview
took two interviews, not able to join the third interview.
It was a Java developer role. The first interview is general phone talking. The second one is technical, mainly focusing on system design stuff.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How hashmap is implemented and is it multithreaded safe?
Applied online. Initial screening with the hiring manager. Questions from resume. Technologies used. Java basic questions. Salary expectations. About the role and team. Leetcode question - no coding - just mention the approach. System design question.

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.
