It feels like a burn and churn style of interview. Apparently Visa has to interview 5 people to fill a role. You can get through the process and then realize the team decided to make do with a candidate they already interviewed. None of the interviewers were particularly excited or into the process. Unengaged seemed to be a common trend for some of these folks. There were three rounds. First round was with a hiring manager who barely had any real meaningful questions or seem engaged at all. Second round was a "technical round" which was just a vague ask and a talk about your experience session with two people on the team. I honestly thought they would just cut it off at the technical round because I wasn't particularly feeling a connection with the individuals I spoke with but was surprised to get a call to do the final director level interview. The interviewers will lie to your face; they will say stuff like "oh when you join" and try and make it sound like you have the position. I wasn't interviewing to actually accept their offer, but more just to stay fresh on the market. The compensation discussed was less than my current role. There were moments in the process were it seemed clear as day how antiquated and hierarchical Visa was. Things like "tons of red tape" or "folks considering themselves separate from the corporation," etc. Also, the way the organization structure was described sounded out of date.

Describe how you would design monitoring of a system.
