Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Introduction about yourself. What is your day to day activities. Single scenario based question
Was contacted by a Visa recruiter via email. Had a phone interview with the recruiter, followed by another interview with a Visa recruiter. This second recruiter said the test was to determine whether I have basic coding skills, which they could have answered by looking at my GitHub repo and see the kind of work I can do. Instead they decided to evaluate my skill based on how quickly and how accurately I can solve a problem that would never appear in the real world.
