I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Visa Inc.
Interview
First was a coding round which was done on codesignal.
Second was a coding interview but they started asking me about generative ai and for DSA question asked me to find the optimal solution to find the max element in an array and then to find the second max.
Tbh it was very disheartening because after that she asked me to write an entire jsp with spring mvc classes and code. When i pointed out that i was specifically told that this would be a coding round with DS algos, she said that she already asked me to write the code. Had i been informed properly i would have made sure to learn the syntax as well to which she answered that she can't do anything with theory. Which was right but felt like a kickback because i spent hours each day preparing.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Max of an array
Second max of an array
What is generative ai and how and where do you use it?
Write a spring mvc code with jsp to say "hello".
What is react and explain it?(I literally explained everything from hooks to class components to functional components which was very tiring. )
Restful APIs and its types
Online assessment round is first round with data structure and algorithms with array sorting algorithms on hacker rank which was moved recently. There were two questions and they were very very difficult
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (London, England) in Mar 2026
Interview
I went through the process twice for two separate applications, about 3–4 months apart. The steps were mainly LeetCode, system design, and cultural fit interviews. If you’re solid on most medium-level LeetCode problems, you should be fine.
The process itself isn’t particularly difficult, but I think it’s mostly a numbers game since there are a lot of candidates competing.
The negative part was the communication from HR: constant ghosting and timelines that were never respected. I only found out I had been rejected after my second follow-up asking for feedback, more than a month after the last interview, and only once I started sounding frustrated in my messages.
Applied through careers page, received link for OA. The assessment was on CodeSignal, has 4 questions. 2 are easy, 1 medium and 1 hard. I solved 3 questions completely, did't receive interview invite
