I am a fresher here, straight out of college.
I love my team and my manager. My work is kind of interesting as well, though I'm a bit fed up of jumping through hoops of approval for even minor things.
There is disparity in salary here. But I don't think there's any use cribbing over it. If you can crack a better-paying job somewhere else, who's stopping you from switching?
As for the IITs, everyone pays us a lot, so if VISA needs the good guys, they have to pay more. Even good startups offer ~12-15 lpa.
I know many guys who've preferred VISA over Amazon, Microsoft, Adobe, etc., and the only reason that's going to happen is pay (sorry, but it's the truth). So if Visa decided to offer a lower package at IITs, they wouldn't get any good guys.
Sorry if this comes across as arrogant, but it's just the cold, harsh truth.
Interviews for SDE positions should have good algo questions. Standardize the quality of interviews and emphasize problem-solving skills over technology-specific knowledge.
An onsite interview was conducted. Before the interview, there was a networking dinner, which was enjoyable. During the interview, the focus was primarily on System Design questions, such as "Design YouTube," and discussions about my projects.
ONCAMPUS INTERVIEW WITH VISA. The interviewer is a Senior Director in Risk Management. He introduced himself by talking about recent company tasks and some personal information. He did not go over the resume but asked me a question on a whiteboard
It's a phone interview, mainly about the projects I have ever done, pretty much into detail. No coding yet. Many basic questions about Java, like concurrent programming and some relevant synchronization techniques.
