J'ai postulé via la recommandation d'un employé. Le processus a pris 1 semaine. J'ai passé un entretien chez Rakuten (San Francisco, CA) en juin 2014
Entretien
This was back in 2014.
I was referred by someone who works at the company (in SF). There was a quick phone interview, probably around 30 minutes. I got invited for a onsite interview for the next week and met with the VP of product for an hour, met with another PM for another hour, met with another PM (mobile) for another hour, and met with the UX designer lastly.
Overall, we reviewed my resume together as well as other projects I had been done. They gave me some problems and asked me to come up with a design to solve it, then asked how I would go about implementing this. They also asked me to critique their current shopping website and experience.
By the end of the day, I was given an offer.
The whole recruitment process was straightforward and fast, there were level of interviews. First was HR interview, then a user interview, and finally the final interview. The whole interview process took about 1 month from scheduling, but was about 2 months from application.
Referred by Rakuten employee and got up to 3 positions to apply. After HR checked your resume and fit, totally 3 interviews came: hiring manager, team leader & senior manager.
