I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in May 2024
Interview
1. The main requirement for the role (needing a finance background) was communicated to me in the 4th round of the interview. Took up the 4th round just for the interviewer to come and tell me that due to me not having a finance background, there are less chances of getting selected. Few weeks later, I got the automated rejection email. Although I appreciate the respectful nature of all interviewers, this is a basic background screening that could have been done in the 1st round itself. I have wasted 3-4 weeks of my time in preparing for all the rounds and then getting rejected due to lack of a basic eligibility requirement.
2. The job advert and the real expectations from the role completely do not match at all.
3. HR Recruiter never responds to emails. They respond only if they want to progress a candidate to the next round. Otherwise, no matter how many reminders you drop, all emails go unanswered which badly reflects on the company's culture. As a candidate, I deserve a proper explanation for the rejection having spent 4 weeks of time in preparation for 4 rounds of interviews. Respect is not a thing here for the recruiters.
4. Interview process terribly slow. Took 2-3 months to go until the 4th round and then get an automated rejection email.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly about past experiences related to your work.
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Manila, Manila) in Nov 2025
Interview
Interview process: HR - Hiring Manager - Stakeholders - Site Lead and HR Head.
Company is very unprofessional. Does not update applicant on status of application. Ghosts the applicant.
PH Office is not attractive. Does not look like modern technology companies.
I am still waiting for the feedback survey so that I can give their Recruitment team a failing mark. Visa HQ should be made aware how incompetent Visa PH is. It's not really because I didn't get an offer, but its them ghosting applicants.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Nov 2025
Interview
Behavioral style with manager, future peer, and key stakeholder. It was conversational mostly, and nothing too unexpected. The gap between rounds was quite long. End to end, it was likley somewhere around 4 months.
The process was fine, involving only a few interviews, but the responsibilities don't align with expectations. This highlights a company trying to merge two roles into one to cut costs. I can only imagine the stress the team experiences under a somewhat rude manager who interrupts during questions. Guiding the interview is essential, but there's a more effective way to approach this—perhaps by incorporating a little kindness or saying, "sorry to interrupt..." The manager appeared rushed and lacked warmth, taking themselves too seriously and displaying low emotional intelligence. Senior leaders should know better. The job description was inadequately communicated, and repeated questions about a preferred qualification that they knew I didn't possess from the very beginning indicated that the interviewers hadn't reviewed my resume, nor do they seem reasonable at discerning the differences between differing levels of responsibility. I expected better consistency and understanding in job descriptions as a basic expectation. I was genuinely interested in working at Visa, and, to be honest, I would likely consider another role there with a different team. I spent a significant amount of time learning about Visa and this role, only to feel disrespected in the end. There's a clear breakdown here.
