      Staff Software Engineer Interview

      28 Oct 2020
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Austin, TX) in Jun 2019

      Interview

      I have interviewed with Visa in mid 2019 mid. Gave multiple interviews in different teams mostly Austin TX and Colorado teams. I reached final rounds for 3 different teams, 2 Senior SE and 1 Staff SE position. Call with recruiter followed by usual HackerRank.One round with SE, followed by 5 rounds of final interview 45 minutes each. Atleast 7 hours of wasted time with 3 teams. Total 21 hours. Most of the interviews seemed fake to me, like there was no interest to interview me. Most of the interviewer came late to the call and atleast 2 of each 5 final interviewers where different people from the one named in the emails. They were totally un-prepared and you can see that when they ask you tell me about yourself while reading your resume. Most of them admitted that one who was supposed to interview forwarded them to take this interview just now. They were late to the call since they had to copy one leetcode problem for you to solve. I will say don't waste you time here. Most of the Senior and staff position posted online are for Green card or Perm process, where they had to show that they interviewed people before they reject you. There was no position empty to fill, it was just to show the Government. You can only get into Visa if you are Grad hire and start with them early in your career. Rest most of the Senior and Staff positions are fake ones. Followed up with different recruiters after 21 hours with 3 teams. 2 Ghosted me. 1 replied after 3 weeks that the team has moved into different direction.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Tell me about yourself while they read your Resume for the first time - and this is in final rounds. Many leetcode medium problems - where you know they just took it before interviewing you.

      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.

      Average interview

      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.
