Software Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
I attended an event organized by Visa and was called three days later. I was interviewed by the hiring manager, a staff engineer, over video conference, followed by a Skype phone interview.
Most of the questions were technical case scenarios that didn't have a definitive right or wrong answer. The interviewers seemed very impressed.
After the interview, I waited for six long weeks with no update. Every time I inquired about an update, the recruiter informed me that I was still under consideration and a decision had not yet been made, which was why feedback wasn't provided.
Finding no other way, I emailed one of the directors, and she informed me that they had decided not to move forward with my application.
It was very frustrating. After waiting for two long months, the recruiting team didn't even bother to inform me about the decision. This is not expected from a big brand like Visa.

Always something new, no micromanagers. Clean.Cons: Too quiet at times, not enough diversity, buddy-buddy system, too much politics.
- 1.0Horrible culture where managers and directors promote favoritismSoftware Engineer • Current EmployeeAustin, Texas, United StatesJuly 25, 2018Pros: Can't think of any pros.Cons: Worst experience in my professional journey. People on the team are ill-treated. Senior management operates from Foster City, so they are not aware of how directors and managers are treating their subordinates. Managers never appreciate hard work. Forget having one-on-one meetings with your manager. A director's favorite person is appointed the manager, even though they are not fit to be a manager. Good technical people are not always good managers. Stay away from the Front End team in Austin.
