Neutral ExperienceNo Offer

Process

I applied for the role online on the Visa job website. After some days, I got a call from a recruiter regarding the role.

I was asked to complete three online tests, the links for which were sent via email. There was also a 30-minute phone interview.

The phone interview lasted about 30-45 minutes. I did not receive any feedback after the phone interview.

Questions

In three online tests, one had multiple-choice questions. The other two required me to write programs to solve problems. The problems were average.
