I went through a first few steps of Rakuten’s interview process which included online coding test, online video interview, making a presentation, and presenting my slides which interviewer could ask question about it and also some extra questions. Besides the fact the process is quite slow, in the last stage that I had to go through I finally got to speak to a person from Rakuten who is working there for about eight years. I didn’t feel like it’s a bad interview but I also felt this is just a formality that everyone needs to go through. The interviewer was basically reading questions from a list. After I finished presenting my self-introduction slides, I had a feeling that no matter how well I answered his questions, I was already judged for some reason and my chances are succeeding are remote. Also, I did not particularly his attitude about a certain question he asked. This is why I also had some doubts in accepting their offer even the outcome was positive. When someone asks what you think our business’s objective, I don’t believe in a million year you should answer “money”. It is obvious everyone wants to make money, who doesn’t!!But I value companies that their main objective is not just money, but rather it is also bringing value to society.
