I applied through an employee referral. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Foster City, CA) in Jan 2015
Interview
This was one of the worst interview experiences I have ever had. It took two months of going back and forth with the hiring manager to determine the scope and level of the position. I ended up helping her set the appropriate level of the role as she really didn't seem to have a handle on industry standards. Then when I finally went in I met with several BU leaders who seemed sharp but was then put in a conference room with about 8 of the team members I would be leading. The room was full of anxiety and I spent an hour fielding very awkward questions about what I would change and if I would keep everyone on board. I was told this was a final interview and that I would get word within a week or two. NO ONE EVER FOLLOWED UP WITH ME. After more than four months of interviews and conversations I NEVER received a call with my final decision. I felt this was completely unprofessional but since I had decided I did not want to step into such a dysfunctional team I just moved on. Five months later I started getting calls from head hunters about the job, apparently it is still open. Good luck filling that.

Referral from a trusted friend and direct hire by the hiring manager. The interview process was not typical because the specialized nature of the role streamlined the standard hiring process.

I applied online. I interviewed at Visa Inc. (Manila, Manila) in Nov 2025
Interview
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.
