I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in Dec 2021
Interview
Everyone I spoke with was very nice. However, the hiring process itself was a negative experience. When I spoke with the recruiter, they reassured me that they would be available for questions and that they would keep in close touch. After I finished all of my initial interview rounds, I asked my recruiter what the timeline would be and what to expect next, but did not get a response. Two weeks later I noticed that the job title changed and I sent another email inquiring about that... no response yet again.
At this point I assumed I would not be moving forward, but it took an entire extra month to get a rejection email for a job I did not even apply for (rejection for a data scientist position but I had interviewed for a data engineering position). The whole process just struck me as very unprofessional, especially when compared to other companies where I have interviewed and received feedback within days, positive and negative. I feel like that is the least a company can do when you put the time and effort into their interview rounds, but Visa really missed the mark in my opinion.

Question 1
What is your experience working with big data tools like Hadoop?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Bengaluru) in Mar 2026
Interview
First technical round: Coding—Python, PySpark, SQL one question each
Second technical round was really weird. The interviewer didn’t switch on her camera. She asked no questions about my resume. She asked me Python, PySpark, SQL questions. (Really easy like window functions and lazy evaluation, wide vs narrow transformation.) No followup questions. I answered all of it and then she ended the call twenty minutes early.
Seemed disinterested and eager to get it done with.
I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Bengaluru) in Sept 2025
Interview
Once you are pre-screened, you get a codesignal test. Once you solve at least 2 out of 4, you are invited to a 1st round interview where they ask you basic sql and python questions.
2nd Round - my interviewer was very condescending and got offended by my definition of a data engineer. Their communication style included remarks that felt condescending, such as implying a question was "sixth-grade level," despite it being a specific Python trick. This made the interaction quite unpleasant and difficult.
