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
Interview included basic medium-level LeetCode problems, a straightforward system design and distributed systems discussion, generally positive feedback, but I was ghosted afterward with no follow-ups despite multiple polite outreach attempts.
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Austin, TX) in Apr 2023
Interview
Major misalignment between HR and Hiring Manager
Pros: Brand name and potential for interesting scale. Cons: This was my fourth poor experience with Visa recruitment in 7 years. Despite asking the recruiter multiple times to confirm the format of the second round, I was explicitly told it would be non-technical. However, the hiring manager arrived 20 minutes late and immediately began a technical assessment. I declined to participate because the process did not align with what was promised. Advice to Management: Ensure recruiters and hiring managers are on the same page regarding interview formats. Ghosting candidates after multiple rounds (which has happened to me twice here) and showing up late to interviews creates a very poor candidate experience.
