      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Vienna, VA) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      Long, but friendly and appropriate. The questions asked were thought provoking but easy to answer for an experienced applicant. I am looking forward to the next interview. It would be nice if there were fewer interviews.

      Staff Engineer Interview

      22 Feb 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Warsaw, Masovia
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Warsaw, Masovia) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      1. HR Call: Initial contact from HR to discuss the role and your profile. 2. Assessment: A coding test to evaluate your technical skills. 3. Technical Rounds: Three back-to-back technical interviews, each focusing on specific areas such as React, APIs, UI design, task management, and security.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      The assessment consists of multiple sections. First, you'll be asked to dynamically display tasks in a board layout based on different statuses like To-do, In Progress, and Done, and loop through these tasks to render them accordingly. Next, you will need to create a form to add new tasks to the board, ensuring they are initially placed in the 'TO_DO' column by default, and handle the form submission to update the board dynamically. In the API consumption section, you'll need to fetch a list of tasks using a provided API and display them, and also fetch user names from a separate endpoint and display them in the task cards. You'll also be required to handle asynchronous API calls and ensure that the UI updates correctly once the data is fetched. Finally, you must implement logic to ensure newly created tasks are added to the correct status column and optimize fetching and displaying large sets of task data for performance.
      Answer question

      Question 2

      The R1 interview questions cover a range of topics. For layout and rendering, you'll be asked how to dynamically display tasks in a board layout based on JSON data with different statuses (To-do, In Progress, Done) and how to loop through and display task cards accordingly. In dynamic interaction, you'll need to create a form for adding new tasks, ensuring the new tasks are initially placed in the 'TO_DO' column, and handle form submission to dynamically update the board. For API consumption, you'll be required to use an API to fetch tasks, display them on the board, and fetch additional user data from a separate endpoint to display in each task card. You’ll also need to manage asynchronous API calls and ensure UI updates correctly. For task management, you'll need to ensure new tasks are added to the right column, handle updates, and optimize performance when dealing with large sets of task data. In front-end security, you'll be asked why you'd use WebSockets, security best practices, and your approach to test-driven development (TDD) and maintaining code quality. The OOP task asks you to write a Circle class to calculate the area from the topmost and center points, and to write client code to use this class to calculate the radius and area.
      Answer question

      Question 3

      Round 2 interview questions focus on admin dashboard design and user management. You'll be asked about the roles that should exist in an admin dashboard for managing users and the UI design for the dashboard. The interviewer will ask you to describe how you would display a list of users and handle searching for users, particularly when dealing with a large number of users. You'll need to explain how you would display large sets of data, like 10,000 or 20,000 users, efficiently. When discussing adding a new user, you should outline the flow for adding a user in the system. The high-level architecture of an admin dashboard for user management should also be described, focusing on its components and structure. You'll also need to address security and scalability—how the system scales with growing data and maintains security. Role-based access and user management will come into play, where you'll discuss the roles required to manage users. The UI components for user management (like forms for adding users) should be outlined. Finally, you'll need to discuss how to implement searching and pagination for users, especially when dealing with large amounts of data.
      Answer question

      Question 4

      In Round 3, questions focus on task management, API handling, and front-end best practices. You’ll need to display tasks dynamically in a board layout based on statuses (To-do, In Progress, Done) by looping through JSON data and rendering cards accordingly. For dynamic interaction, you'll create a form to add tasks, with default placement in the "To-do" column, and update the board via state. When consuming APIs, you'll fetch task data and assigned user names, managing asynchronous calls with React hooks. For task updates, logic ensures new tasks are placed in the correct column. To optimize performance with large datasets, implement pagination or lazy loading. Front-end security practices include input validation, preventing XSS, and using HTTPS, while TDD ensures tests are written before the code. In Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), you'll write a Circle class to calculate areas based on center and topmost points. For the admin dashboard role, key tasks involve defining roles like Admin and User, designing a UI with tables and search functionality, and handling large data with pagination. Lastly, the architecture should be modular, secure, and scalable with efficient data handling techniques.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc.

      Interview

      The entire process having three rounds of technical discussion and the 2nd round was complete hand on round where they will ask us to give some scenarios which we need to perform. But it was really a very good experience that I had with the interview person.

      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Visa Inc. in Sept 2021

      Interview

      Approached visa HR and gave my salary expectation in the first place, HR told me they can match it. Then passed 4 rounds of interview, 1st Round with Director of hiring team and peer director in the US, 2nd round with local team members, 3rd round with chief engineer in the US, 4th with local peer director. Took 2 months for interview and right after the 4th round HR called and said they would prepare offer tmr. But didn’t get any news after 8 working days when HR called again and said sorry she was sick and computer got problem and forgot my salary expectation. I provided same salary expectation. After one week HR emailed and informed visa cannot match my compensation level. Although I may not accept their offer even they can match my expectation, but apparently they were sourcing in parallel and found cheaper option or better fit. Whatever it is fair.
