Me postulé a través de un reclutador. Acudí a una entrevista en Rakuten (Hyderabad) en may 2016
Entrevista
Well, I was contacted by a recruiter of Rakuten over an email with the opportunity details. I had responded with my profile. Upon shortlisting the profile they have sent two links to my email, one for Video interview and other for the coding test on Codility platform.
I have taken both the tests.
The first one video interview have 5 questions , which are just HR centric, as mentioned below:
1. What's your name and why are you a good fit for this position?
2. If you have experience, describe it and your technical skillset?
3. How can you contribute to company's growth?
4. What are your strengths and how can you leverage it for peak performance?
5. Have you changed your job and why are you looking for change now?
The second one was a Codility test, you can choose any language (C#, PHP, JAVA, Javscript, Python), I was give a question to check Bitwise XOR of all the numbers between two integers
(like 5 and 8 are inputs the o/p should be 5 BitwiseXor 6 BitwiseXor 7 BitwiseXor 8). I could not complete the test as I was working slowly and did not observe the time. Not sure..but mostly, I will not be through this initial interview process.. however we are human, lives with a small blink of hope even in worst case..so just waiting for the feedback...Cheers !! :-)

General coding questions and programming, culture fit and hiring manager
Usually there are 3 rounds of interviews starting with technical, culture fit and senior management and then HR round and discussion.

Don't go through 3rd party for interview in Rakuten . Rakuten conducts fake interviews. Inspite of doing well, they block your number after final round conducted. Such a waste of time.

Entrevista
The first interview will be with a recruiter. In this stage, you will introduce yourself and talk about your professional experience. It mainly focuses on evaluating your English communication skills, cultural fit, and overall background.
The second stage was with another interviewer, but the experience felt unclear. The questions were vague and very general, so I often felt like I was just talking to myself. The lack of engagement made the interview feel monotonous, and I found the interviewer yawning throughout entire session.
