Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Bengaluru, India

Process

There was an online assessment.

Then, three rounds were scheduled.

  • First round: Went well. The interviewer was polite and asked a range of questions covering front end, SQL, security, Angular lifecycle, REST APIs, etc.
  • Second round: The interviewer seemed confused, as the round was scheduled for one hour but they wanted to take more time. One DS Algo question (LC Medium) and one System Design question were asked. We kept switching between coding and design, which made the interview unnecessarily complicated. I was also asked about my DevOps experience.
  • Third round: The worst round in my experience. This was a kind of HR-Tech round. The interviewer asked weird questions and started playing some video while I was answering. I could hear the sound of the video he was playing, and it was extremely disrespectful. He cut the interview short (dropped within 25 minutes), and I had already decided not to work at Visa if he ended up being my manager.

I waited for 5 days and called the recruiter to know the result, as I never received any response.

They said that the second round was 50:50, which is obvious since they did not even have the interviewing skills to assess a candidate, and no person would have cleared the rounds.

I got an email one week later from the recruiter stating that they are no longer hiring for this role.

Unprofessionalism at its peak!
