Round 1: Telephonic - 30 minutes The director is late by 10 minutes, Learning that I have no Java work experience he puts me hold for 10 minutes to kill time and in the last 10 minutes he asks me some questions. At visa people are not interested if you have not work experience in Java. Even if you have worked on any other object oriented programming language people consider you are not fit to join Visa. Damn it I don't understand why did you even short list my profile when its clear from my resume I have no experience with J2EE in specific. This is the second similar experience with Visa I had this experience. I interviewed with them for Internship as well. Questions: What is OOP? What is Polymorphism What is inheritance What is a table, view, materialized view Difference between truncate and delete, table and view

Linked lists, BSTs, Arrays and the final round question: You have a set of cars and parking lots. You know the distances from each car to each parking lot and the parking lot capacities. How would you make sure each car gets to a parking lot with a vacancy so that all cars travel the least amount of total distance possible? A small data set example might be: distance_car1_to_lot1 = 1 distance_car1_to_lot2 = 10 distance_car2_to_lot1 = 2 distance_car2_to_lot2 = 100 lot1_capacity = 1 lot2_capacity = 1 You can see here that if you were to take car1 and put it into lot1 and car2 into lot2, the distance traveled of all cars would be 101. Rather than doing that, taking car1 to lot2 and car2 to lot1 would result in a total travel distance of 12. Which would be the correct answer in this small data set. How might you solve this, assuming there could a wide number of cars, parking lots and varying distances than listed above.

You have been given two pieces of flammable rope. The speed at which each individual rope can burn is inconsistent, but if you light the end with a match, the short rope will take 30 minutes to burn and the long rope takes an hour. How can you used the ropes to determine when 45 minutes have passed?
