Interviewed Mar 2012 in Reading, England (United Kingdom) (took 5 weeks)
I had three interviews, spaced out over 5 weeks. Initially was with the hiring manager and another manager. Asked lots of technical questions that I didn't know the answer to. Also did the usual HR type ones. Came out of it thinking they were looking for someone else.
2nd was with a head of dept level - was more of a 'does he fit in' interview. Here we went over the CV and spoke more informally about the role and my career direction.
3rd was with HR. Had the usual HR style scenario based questions, but was mostly a formality at that stage. Discussed salary expectations and notice period.
Was a very open and transparent process, which reflected well on the company. I would recommend Visa based on the process I went through. Only declined due to a better offer from another firm.
Interview Questions
Reason for Declining
It was a hard decision to make as both jobs were similar, but in the end it came to down to getting offered 10% more at the other place.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview and a Group/Panel Interview.

Interviewed May 2011 (took 3 weeks)
The agency knew me so they put me straight in as a recommended candidate. First interview was with my eventual line manager. Chronological analysis of my CV brought out my skills and experience. Very open about the opportunity and challenges.
2nd interview within a week with the HRD and the Marketing EVP. This was more a personality fit interview than deep technical interview.
First phone call to accepted offer in 3 weeks! The fastest process I've gone through ever!.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in City of London, England (United Kingdom) (took 2 months)
Phone interview with HR = pre-screening. Positive on the outcome and happy with my background / cv, yet questions regarding salary expectations and if my profile was too senior for the role. They eventually came back to me after almost two months confirming those concerns and not going ahead with the current application. They offered to contact me again when a VP role became available. All in all friendly yet a big silence in between first interview and the next conversation, even though I sent them a couple of follow up emails and even a friend who works at Visa had enquired on my behalf about the status of the application.

Interviewed Apr 2011 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4 months)
The in house recruiters did not understand the role which made it difficult. There were some very bizarre and unrelated questions - Who do you admire? What animal do you compare yourself too. This reflects immaturity. They used ability tests but said these have no relevance to the job and a personality measure which no one looked at.
They were friendly which helps though.

Interviewed Jun 2010 in London, England (United Kingdom) (took 4+ weeks)
It was an internal job but I did not have any useful contact with the new manager or team. The interview process was thorough and detailed for the level of job. The questions were around aptitude as well as skill based.

Interviewed Jun 2009 (took 2 weeks)
I had a very informal interview with the recruiting agent who want to know me personally before forwarding my CV to the company.
Then I had a 1:1 with the hiring manager.. very nice and then a skill test. Then afterwards with the Head of the Dept. [SVP Level] and Division [CxO] Level
I think I made a good impression on the Manager & SVP so he liked me straight away and hinted at offering me the job at that stage..
Note: My case may be peculiar because I know subject very well....and have loads of experience....
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
I did not know their salary range before I went for the interview as I was laid back { thinking whatever......} so I was handicapped a bit but it was Ok and fair. For others, please go for the top end of your salary expectation. They will pay if they want you.
Other Details
I got the interview through a Recruiter and the interview consisted of a Phone Interview, a 1:1 Interview, a Skills Test and a Background Check.

Interviewed Sep 2009 in Reading, England (United Kingdom) (took a day)
The interview process was not what I expected, I spoke to the team lead and he lacked any kind of enthusiasm, it was like pulling teeth! I had to ask him what the project was about. The interview lasted about 15mins, and in that time I hardly understood a word he said as he had a very think accent.
