Rakuten

I completed four interview rounds at Rakuten for a senior Java position, covering Java/Spring Boot fundamentals, a LeetCode Rotate Array problem, a Redbus-like system design, and HR discussions, and I was offered a job.

My first round virtual interview for a Java Lead Developer role at Rakuten was a rapid-fire session covering SOLID principles, multithreading, data structures, Java streams, and exception handling. I rated the difficulty as Easy to Medium. Despite my lack of Spring Boot knowledge, I found the experience positive and valuable.
