J'ai postulé via une agence de recrutement. Le processus a pris plus d'une semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Rakuten
Entretien
Passed the online coding test with ease. However, found the guys doing interviews (an engineer) did not know how to code themselves. Got asked into details of projects I did in my previous companies. And contributed practical solutions for algorithms, modelling and classifier, machine learning and econometrics. However, found out the whole process was a brain-rape! The guy hinted the political tension within the team, like wanted who to be in the managerial roles. Laster, I got feedback from the agent, I was stunned. The chi*ese employers made up the interview results. Hope the senior management starts to realise the bad culture is prevailing.
