In the end of zoom interview, I asked them about what drives them to work on Paypay.
He doesn't understand my question, so I said for example is it salary or ...?
After this interview, they rejected me because they think I focus on salary instead of truly wanting to work with them.
I think this feedback is rediculous.
Don't waste your life to interview with this company.

Don't waste your time! Like many other comments, the interviewer's English was very poor. Even though I answered all the questions, I was still rejected in the end. The email replies and interview scheduling were very slow. It felt like they didn't really want to hire and were just going through the process.

So it all starts with code signal coding assesment which was leedcode med-high. After that recruiter call he/she will tell about company and hiring process.
Rounds:
Tech Round 1 Screening: I was asked to design my current aplication which iam working on went well.
Was invited for loop round which are 2 rounds and based on first they can cancel second.
Loop 1: Python related question, backend concurrency and distributed related questions and then there was one coding question not very tough. I was able to do, Interviewer seemed to satisfied and i was also positive that i will make this round.
Cut short just before 1 hour of loop 2 they cancelled and did not even tell why or what improvements i can do.

Question 1
Don't waste time as much of feedbacks here they are just doing time pass with candidates nowadays.
I applied online. I interviewed at PayPay (Tokyo) in Sept 2025
Interview
Interview process started with online coding assessment (4 problems, 70 mins). I would say it consists of 2 easy + 2 medium leetcode questions. You don't need to score perfectly to pass. If you pass, you will be invited to initial recruiter call to talk about your experience and role. Then goes into a series of elimination rounds: coding/LLD, system design, hiring manager(behavioral). If you pass all of them, they will invite you to offer meeting. The whole interview process takes about 2 months, but the process and steps are pretty clear. Overall it is a good experience.
