I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Austin, TX) in Jan 2022
Interview
Applied to the role online and got a hackerrank assessment next week. It was python, sql, docker and linux queries. (Mix of Coding (LeetCode Easy) and MCQ's). After the initial assessment the recruiter reached out to me on the next steps and was scheduled for a tech. interview with three team members (45 min each). The interview was specifically over python and sql question. All questions were LC Medium/Easy.

Question 1
The interview was specifically over python and sql question. All questions were LC Medium/Easy. Answered all the questions but still got a reject. Not sure what were they looking from a potential candidate. And the disgusting part was that they didn't even turn on their camera's during the process.
First round: my background and the recruiter gave me a very detailed introduction of the team, culture and interview process
Took a week to get an invitation of second round interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Bengaluru) in May 2021
Interview
HR called on phone informing that my profile is shortlisted and sent me an MS Teams video meeting invite. On the scheduled date and time, the HR wasn't even aware that my interview was supposed to happen, I had to remind them and after waiting for about 10-15 mins the panelist joined.
He asked me about my background and apologized for joining late, least I could expect. I shared my past professional experience and what I was looking for but the panelist, who also shortlisted my resume told me that my profile doesn't fit well for the role that I applied for - Is this a joke? However, the Job Description was absolutely relevant to my profile. Only good thing was that the panelist told me about the role - sounded like Production Support work and not much R&D related, which was totally not what I was looking for. Also, panelist was not knowledgeable enough to understand what kind of skillset you're supposed to take into account for a Data Engineer role. My suggestion is to screen candidates properly before inviting them for an interview. We set some hopes when we're given a chance and also give our time for preparing and appearing for the interview.
