      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      19 Jun 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Bellevue, WA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Bellevue, WA) in Apr 2019

      Interview

      Horrific interview experience @ Bellevue (WA) office few months back. Recruiter directly scheduled full-day onsite without a call. Nor was there an informational with a manager or any phone interview. This was a red flag but I anyway showed up. Onsite there are 4 hrs of interviews scheduled with 8 interviewers(?!) The first was with Hiring manger who never showed up - shocking.!! A tech lead shows up and get I all random questions - 'why didn't you apply for this other role' and the demeanor was mostly mocking - 'what do you know about x'.. After a few random questions for 10-15 min, the interview ends. After that 2 proper coding interviews happen but they are for around 30-35 min. After 2 hrs of interviewing I am all of a sudden asked to leave?! My interviews weren't bad IMO and it seems impossible to be based off of that. Either they found a candidate already or something else happened. After the onsite the recruiter never emails back anything - not even thanking for showing for an abrupt onsite interview? Even after a ping the recruiter does not respond. (recruiter was ignoring questions email questions before the interview so perhaps its expected) Can you believe this behavior? Sheer arrogance. They need to lean to treat external candidates respectfully.

      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Visa Inc.

      Interview

      Processo sem pé nem cabeça. Cheguei a fazer dois deles quase no mesmo mês, um para Tech Lead (3 etapas: RH, Técnico e Liderança), no fim me deram um baita ghosting, zero feedback, motivo, nada. Alguns dias depois me chamaram para outro processo de Staff Engineer, a mesma recrutadora que me deu ghosting e não respondeu minhas mensagens sobre o status do processo anterior e me disse que simplesmente mudaram a vaga para Senior Manager (o pessoal tá bem de carreer ladder viu rsrs), enfim aceitei seguir para Staff Engineer, ela me disse que nesse caso eu teria que fazer um projeto (basicamente arquitetura event driven processando eventos e salvando numa base) e entregar em cinco dias, depois teria mais duas etapas, que não deu nem tempo saber como são, pois fiz o projeto, extremamente bem estruturado, documentados, apontado trade-offs, etc. e novamente, ghosting. Não responde mensagem, não dá feedback, etc. Espero que ninguém aceite trabalhar num lugar desses com esse tipo de postura nada profissional.

      Application

      I interviewed at Visa Inc.

      Interview

      The interview process was good. HR was communicative and present throughout the process. I had an initial technical screening on codesignal, followed by panel discussion. All rounds were conducted in the evening or at night since the team was based out of US but wanted me to work in person in Bangalore. Finally got the positive feedback from the HR but they low balled me with Senior Software Engineer instead of Staff Software Engineer. Honestly disappointed in putting in a months time for the process and getting positive feedbacks only to be low balled by the hiring manager and HR as they had no basis point for their feedback.
