Solicité el puesto a través de la recomendación de un empleado. El proceso duró 3 días. Acudí a una entrevista en Visa Inc. en may 2009
Entrevista
The classic hurry up and wait, and in this case, never get a resolution. Got a call from HR about business leader position and talked with them a bit. Then HR wanted me to talk to the hiring manager right away, which I did for about 1/2 hr. Shortly after, I went in for office interview with hiring manager, few members of the team, and hiring manager's boss. Each was an individual meeting, not a panel interview. Questions asked were mainly of the "tell me about a time when..." type. I believe there was a hypothetical "if you could change a situation where..." type question as well. The interviews themselves were standard and not particularly difficult.
Both HR and hiring manager said this was the final round and they'd let me know in a few days. Never heard from them again, even after multiple follow-ups to HR and hiring manager.
If I come in for an interview, I think it is courtesy to close the loop, regardless of the outcome. Needless to say, I'm not impressed with the company, which is disappointing because I thought this particular business group would be interesting. From what I know of the current company culture (reading some employee's reviews for Visa will give you a sense) plus my negative interview experience, Visa is not a choice employer for me.

Entrevista
I was screened over the phone by a recruiter, and then scheduled for interviews with 3 individuals. There were two openings in the same department, so I was interviewed by the V.P. and the hiring manager for each of the jobs. (NOTE: This was 11 years ago, the interview process has become much more rigorous since then!)

Tell us why you believe you are a good fit for this particular position?
The hiring manager took the diligence to contact me and get to know my strength and experience. This is rare and most hiring managers didn't get the opportunity to do so because HR won't let it happen. You can't relax unless you already knew these people. This trumps diversity and you're expected to manage upwards. If you can please the top guy, then you shouldn't have any problem in getting hired.

The interview process is not about understanding your ability, but more to see if you can be a fit. That's a challenge unless you already know "how" to speak up. I was asked for an experience that is not listed in the job description, which is generic and vague to begin with, and no wonder I was not qualified. They also make you meet with several stakeholders and partners though it only matters if the top guy says "yes" so it's kind of a waste of time. Find someone via linkedin before interview so you can be prepared to see who you're dealing with.
