I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Singapore) in Jan 2016
Interview
Online programming test through Codility, Webcam interview and resume submission for the first stage. Second stage consists of face to face interview at Rakuten's headquarters in Singapore. Third stage was a final interview and confirmation through Skype. The process was quite straight-forward. Interviewers were very friendly and the flight and accommodation was paid for.

Interview questions [1]
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.
