I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Feb 2019
Interview
1. OCR
2. Telephonic
3. Onsite
Easy questions.
Director was not interested in the interview. Was using phone all the time during interview. Does not understand coding still asked coding and didn't understand anything I explained. Because of this I got rejected even when I did all the technical rounds really good.
Visa's interview process is horrible. Recruiter does not know what they are doing.
Director acted as if he knew everything(Lol).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Island problem
find max in an array of fixed window
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
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (London, England) in Mar 2026
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.
