Interview
Major misalignment between HR and Hiring Manager
Pros: Brand name and potential for interesting scale. Cons: This was my fourth poor experience with Visa recruitment in 7 years. Despite asking the recruiter multiple times to confirm the format of the second round, I was explicitly told it would be non-technical. However, the hiring manager arrived 20 minutes late and immediately began a technical assessment. I declined to participate because the process did not align with what was promised. Advice to Management: Ensure recruiters and hiring managers are on the same page regarding interview formats. Ghosting candidates after multiple rounds (which has happened to me twice here) and showing up late to interviews creates a very poor candidate experience.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
OAuth 2.0, JWT, OWASP, Authentication, Public private keys, One example.
One coding, Recruiter round and a loop round(3 interviews). I got the feedback on the very next day of my loop round and later they have done a reference check with my current manager and colleagues and then released a formal offer letter
Online assessment round is first round with data structure and algorithms with array sorting algorithms on hacker rank which was moved recently. There were two questions and they were very very difficult

Interview
I went through the process twice for two separate applications, about 3–4 months apart. The steps were mainly LeetCode, system design, and cultural fit interviews. If you’re solid on most medium-level LeetCode problems, you should be fine.
The process itself isn’t particularly difficult, but I think it’s mostly a numbers game since there are a lot of candidates competing.
The negative part was the communication from HR: constant ghosting and timelines that were never respected. I only found out I had been rejected after my second follow-up asking for feedback, more than a month after the last interview, and only once I started sounding frustrated in my messages.
