Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience

Process

No value for candidates' time. The questions were nothing great; they were just copied and pasted from standard websites.

I interviewed at Visa. I executed each and every program with complete test coverage and noted the time and space complexities.

Everyone was very happy with the interviews. The only catch was they wanted me to start as early as the next week after the interview, which was outrageous and impossible for me at that time. (Before the interviews, I made sure the start date was at least 4-6 weeks from the interview, and the recruiter agreed to it.)

After the interview, they asked if I could start soon, and I gave my answer. That was the last call with them.

It has been one month since the interviews now. After two follow-ups, they sent an email saying they enjoyed talking to me.

Needless to say, I would never interview with this company again.

The team was called Mapped.

Questions

  1. Implement the power function

  2. Print all triplets that add up to 0

  3. Behavioral questions: I call them "stupid" not because behavioral questions are inherently stupid, but because the specific questions asked in this instance were poorly formulated.

  4. Singleton, Facade, Observer.
