I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Rakuten (Pune) in Apr 2012
Interview
I applied through college campus interview process and the complete process finished in 3 weeks.
Interview process for freshers is not very difficult. They focus more on the communication skills and learning skills of the candidate rather than a particular language. If you know some Japanese then it is always good.
1st Interview - Paper Test & some coding questions
2nd Interview - Technical questions and easy coding questions
3rd Interview - Situation questions and communication skills questions
4th Interview - They check how loyal you can be towards the company
Overall interview process is not very difficult if you know the basics of what you are doing.

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.
