I applied through a recruiter. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Mar 2014
Interview
Contacted by recruiter. Replied. Followed with a phone screen with the recruiter. Initial onsite interview with 2 managers to see if good fit. Followed up with an onsite technical interview with 4 or 5 people who held the role I was currently being considered for. Interview was purely technical. Was not an interview for cultural fit.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to use pseudo code for a few functions on a white board.
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.
