I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2018
Interview
1) Hackerrank 120 minutes (1 Leetcode medium one easy)
2) Phone Interview with Lead (Discussion about Java and topics from my resume).
3) Skype Interview with Chief Software Engineer and directors. (2 rounds).
Chief Software Engineer was one of the uncivil people I have ever encountered . Doesn't know how to dry run a code I had to tell him where the recursion ends and how it ends.
Interview (His video was turned off):
Me: Hi <his name>
Him: Ok so you know my name let's start.
What is DAG (I told him what is DAG).
Okay, you leave it to remove a node from a BST. I wrote the 80% of the code. He Stopped me in the middle and said you leave it just insert the node for me.
I asked him if there was something wrong with removal code. He got offended and said do you really think this will work. I explained my thinking and did a dry run of the code which he was not able to understand and interrupted a lot and then said yes this will work.
Then he said we just have 10 minutes solve a SQL question for me I wrote the query. He said that's not how we write it. HR will get back to you bye.
If you have such a high ego then please don't take interviews.
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
