Candidatei-me por indicação de um funcionário. O processo levou 4 meses. Fui entrevistado pela Rakuten (Tóquio) em jun. de 2020
Entrevista
First step was a Codibility test related to anagrams - 1 hour to solve it.
A few weeks after that, there was the first zoom interview with 3 software engineers. Questions were related to my own background, database and architecture scalability, micro-services, and others.
Fortunately the second interview was skipped and I was pushed to the final interview. It was with the general manager. Questions were related to risk assessment, handling conflicts between team and client, etc.
In order to provide proof of English proficiency. I also had to pass an online TOEIC test, which was fully paid by Rakuten.
The engineers and general manager were friendly and made me feel comfortable. I was positively impressed by the HR team as they were very supportive, answered all my questions in a timely-fashion, and handled the interview process extremely smoothly.
