The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in Oct 2018
Interview
Applied online, got an email from a recruiter to schedule an online coding interview with a Director. The director was very unpleasant, we directly jumped to the coding exercise which consisted of 1 question. The question was quite ambiguous and vague without any use cases and there with a lot of assumptions to be made. I successfully covered all cases but the interviewer told me that I should have made all the assumptions before starting so that we could avoid back and forth and was asking me to come up with real-life uses cases instead of providing one. Well, I believe when asking a very open-ended question, one should be able to discuss and write the solution rather than have everything pre-planned. At the end of the call, the interviewer told me good luck on the job search. Such a waste of time. Seriously this is not a proper tech company and I am glad I didn't get through. One word to describe - Unprofessional!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Given an Input determine if its greater than a given Limit, the Limit can be invalid if it is less than zero or greater than MAXIMUM. If Limit is invalid compare it with Default value.
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.
