I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2016
Interview
The interview process with Visa is quite time consuming. I got a call for the role of Senior Software Engineer after I had applied from my University. The first round was very basic and they asked me basic questions on Java and some file manipulation. The second round was on HackerRank and the questions were quite standard. There is sufficient time to answer all the questions. The third round was onsite at Foster City. I was put up in a very nice hotel in Redwood city and I reached the Visa office at 7:45 am for the interview on Super Day. There are 3 rounds there and all are technical except the last one has a few behavioural questions as well. Each round is 1 hour long and all require writing code on the board. Interviewers were friendly and they try to help you to cover the corner cases. The day ended with lunch and I left back to the airport. Got the result within a week .

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.
Applied through careers page, received link for OA. The assessment was on CodeSignal, has 4 questions. 2 are easy, 1 medium and 1 hard. I solved 3 questions completely, did't receive interview invite
