Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Rakuten (Bengaluru) in Aug 2021

Interview

Worst experience. No proper communication, no feedback. Seems like internal hiring only. Had 1 round on call then after a month again on zoom and got final call in the end of 2nd month. No proper process and waste of time. Even got wrong zoom link once.

Interview

I had 5 total interviews/calls in total - way too much time invested for an intern interview. Also, one of the interviewers was extremely rude and told me I was making no sense during the interviews but he was the one not paying attention (he did not have my resume pulled up).
