I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Tokyo)
Interview
The recruitment process took 3 months from the day of applying till getting offer. Overall it was a very challenging and good experience. Recruiters were very nice, professional and reply to all emails and clarifications but process took really long time.
1st round - Codility programming test with one program and video interview with 5 questions. Got the result in two days.
2nd round - Interview with managers for 30 minutes. Basic questions about background and technical experience. Interviewers were very nice, smiling and professional. Got the result in two days.
3rd round - Interview with senior manager for 30 minutes. Behavioral questions and questions on the technical background. Again, interviewer was good and got the result in two days. Before the final interview, I had to read two books written by CEO and give my honest opinion.
4th round - Interview with head of department for 1 hour. Highly professional and interview was very interesting. Fully technical and more technical than previous rounds. Had a good time and conversation and learnt few things. I attended very few interviews in my career so far and this is the best one and was an interesting experience. More challenging in the entire recruitment process was that I had to wait for more than a month to get the final result.
Finally offer and then offer meeting. Eagerly waiting for my joining date to start working!!!

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.
