Entrevista
I interviewed for a position in one of the technology organizations at Foster City. The recruiter was professional throughout the process, and kept me in the loop as much as possible. Everything else left a lot to be desired.
The hiring manager provided minimal communication, and actually took a three week vacation in between interviewing candidates, adding to the already overly long time it took to get a decision - eleven weeks in total.
On-site interviews were based on interviewers asking canned questions from a sheet of paper each had been given. All of them complained about having to ask such questions; some gave up halfway through the list, by which point their disgust at being forced to ask those questions had already crept into the evaluation process. Several interviewers had no idea what else to ask (even after complaining of what they were told to ask). One went as far as telling me that being on the interviewer list was likely a mistake. The process was overly structured and left little room to get to know the organization or for them to get to know me.
Travel coordination for the on-site was terrible. Even though the date for the on-site had been scheduled 10 days in advance, I still did not have travel plans (hotel, airfare) the night before. I was lucky to get a room in the one hotel they do direct billing with. Imagine having to take three days off your current job and not knowing if you are actually flying out to the interviews at 9pm the night before.
I was told repeatedly that I was more than qualified for the position. In the end, no offer was made. Many people comment on how the business is overly bureaucratic; the interview process reflects it. They are trying to modify the way they work to become less so, but for all intents and purposes it looked like they were making things worse. If you consider Visa as a work environment, recognize the issues as you go through the process. It may change your mind as to why you applied in the first place, or at the very least it will prepare you for what you will face if you join them.

No question in particular was more or less difficult or unexpected. It did seem as if the interviewers in general did not have a significant amount of expertise in the questions they were asking. This likely hindered their ability to properly evaluate the interviewee.

Interview process: HR - Hiring Manager - Stakeholders - Site Lead and HR Head.
Company is very unprofessional. Does not update applicant on status of application. Ghosts the applicant.
PH Office is not attractive. Does not look like modern technology companies.
I am still waiting for the feedback survey so that I can give their Recruitment team a failing mark. Visa HQ should be made aware how incompetent Visa PH is. It's not really because I didn't get an offer, but its them ghosting applicants.

Behavioral style with manager, future peer, and key stakeholder. It was conversational mostly, and nothing too unexpected. The gap between rounds was quite long. End to end, it was likley somewhere around 4 months.
The process was fine, involving only a few interviews, but the responsibilities don't align with expectations. This highlights a company trying to merge two roles into one to cut costs. I can only imagine the stress the team experiences under a somewhat rude manager who interrupts during questions. Guiding the interview is essential, but there's a more effective way to approach this—perhaps by incorporating a little kindness or saying, "sorry to interrupt..." The manager appeared rushed and lacked warmth, taking themselves too seriously and displaying low emotional intelligence. Senior leaders should know better. The job description was inadequately communicated, and repeated questions about a preferred qualification that they knew I didn't possess from the very beginning indicated that the interviewers hadn't reviewed my resume, nor do they seem reasonable at discerning the differences between differing levels of responsibility. I expected better consistency and understanding in job descriptions as a basic expectation. I was genuinely interested in working at Visa, and, to be honest, I would likely consider another role there with a different team. I spent a significant amount of time learning about Visa and this role, only to feel disrespected in the end. There's a clear breakdown here.
