Rakuten Payment Software Engineer interview: late, unstructured role discussion

The meeting felt off from the first few minutes. The interviewer arrived several minutes late, did not acknowledge it, and gave no apology or proper greeting. They only started talking when I asked something relevant.

There was little discussion of the job scope or what the role involved. The only concrete reference was a short video and a vague comment about wanting to do something similar. I had to prompt for any job-related context. It felt less like a serious role discussion than an uncomfortable scheduling problem, and I left without a clear sense of alignment or seriousness.

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