PayPay India Backend Engineer Interview Experience: Perfect test score, rejection

PayPay India·Backend Engineer·Reported Jul 2026

I applied online and quickly received an automated CodeSignal link. I completed four questions and scored 600 out of 600. There was no recruiter conversation, only the test and then a wait.

About a week later, I received a rejection email. It made me suspect scoring was being used as an automatic filter without real human review, and left a bitter impression that felt like ghost hiring.

Location: Tokyo. Overall feedback: negative. Offer status: no offer.
