Coding Technical Behavioral
The interview process was a bit on the slower side, but the interviewers were good. We had the following rounds: First, a PPT round which was a pre-placement talk where the Rakuten family introduced themselves and their expectations from us. Second, an online test with general quantitative, logical, and verbal reasoning questions, plus some data structures and algorithms questions, and two coding questions. Third, a technical interview that covered DSA, DBMS, OS, Computer Networks, and Puzzles, with some students also getting coding problems. Lastly, an HR interview which was quite straightforward, asking for an introduction and general HR-related topics.
