Staff Software Engineer Interview Experience - Foster City, California
Process
Some recruiting person contacted me and forwarded my resume and cover letter to Visa Inc.
Got an email from Visa with a HackerRank test.
After submitting the HackerRank coding challenge, I got an email to schedule a phone interview.
The phone interview was with the Director. It was good; they asked about my projects and the technologies I worked on.
After this, I scheduled an onsite interview at Foster City.
There were 3 members, and they asked various coding and designing questions.
